Judge Stefany Miley (Ret.) in her black robe.

The headline on Steve Sanson’s VeteransInPolitics.org site screams:

“Judge has a history of violence & black robe syndrome!”

His exclamation point, not ours.

What exactly is black robe syndrome? According to the legal website, law.com, the term ‘black robe [syndrome]’ is used to describe judges who let their own self-importance cloud their good judgment.

This is simply amazing. Let’s walk through the incidents:

1. As you can see from the above frame grab of the narrative in the first of four police reports on Miley, the lawyer representing Stefany Miley’s husband in their divorce for some reason decided to visit the very gym where Stefany Miley had a membership while she was there working out with a person this attorney, Bruce Gale, described as her boyfriend. Gale purportedly was there to tour the place and consider becoming a member.Stefany Miley sees him, recognizes him, and according to Gale wanted to introduce him to her boyfriend. They shake hands and, according to Gale, Miley says to her boyfriend, “This is the attorney who called the cops on me.” (A different report, see below.) Her boyfriend responds by saying, “You better get him out of here quick before I kick his ass.” Gale walks away. According to him, Miley tries to approach him a few more times, but Gale walks away each time. Gale files a police report about this “coincidental” meeting. Really? This is what you’re hanging your hat on, Sanson? When this alleged incident occurred, the Life Time Fitness club was full on a weekend mornjng with people working out on the equipment on each side of Stefany.  And no witnesses were able to corroborate Gale’s report? That’s extremely unlikely given that the machines on either side of her were less than two feet apart. His police report paperwork showed he filed it as “Edward Miley’s attorney.” Stefany Miley only found out about this alleged gym incident following a call from news entities looking for comment.
2. Second report. A little before Christmas in 2018. Again, Gale makes an appearance as Stefany Miley’s husband’s divorce attorney. He shows up to call the cops on Stefany. She and her son had just arrived home in their car. Her son was driving. Upon arrival, the estranged couple’s son had told his dad that his mom smacked him in the car on the way home. Why? Because he ran a yellow light. Stefany Miley reprimanded him for how he was driving. He talked back to her, called her names, and Stefany Miley lashed out physically, apparently, slapping him, according to the police report, as detailed by Gale. As a result of this, Stefany Miley was charged with domestic abuse. That’s where the mug shot of her that seems to be all over online media came from — at her booking. After a short time, the charges were dropped. Not pursued. There was nothing there. But the police report and the unflattering mug shot live on online. Adding fuel to the fire, Stefany’s husband, Edward Miley, called news agencies and gave interviews after the arrest. Ultimately, the domestic violence charge was dropped “with prejudice in the interest of justice”.
3. Incident three: A secretary at Stefany Miley’s husband’s law firm filed a police report, stating that Miley allegedly barged into her husband’s offices (again, the couple was in the middle of divorce proceedings) and allegedly pushed the arm of this secretary to get by her. The secretary said she “felt bullied” by Stefany Miley’s actions. Nothing happened beyond that and beyond this police report filing. Judge Miley was in court that day. She doesn’t recall the incident at all. It’s interesting that this report was filed the day before Stefany Miley’s husband filed for divorce. Judge Stefany Miley (Ret.) confirmed that she was in court on the same day the incident allegedly occurred. Another detail — at the time, Stefany Miley owned 50 percent of the “office” her husband used. And Stefany also did not even know about the alleged incident with the secretary until Edward Miley produced the report during the divorce proceedings.
4. Incident four: Body bumping … and an argument. Here’s how the Las Vegas Review Journal reported this: “The Las Vegas city attorney has decided not to prosecute a misdemeanor battery complaint filed in May against a District Court judge. The complaint was the result of an argument between Judge Stefany Miley and Rhonda Gold-Charbonneau on May 19 at a soccer field at Buffalo Drive and Summerlin Parkway, according to a Las Vegas police incident report. Gold-Charbonneau accused Miley of a body bump. City Attorney Brad Jerbic said in a statement, ‘After review, the case has been denied for prosecution based on inability to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.’ Gold-Charbonneau filed the complaint on May 20. According to the police report, Gold-Charbonneau said that Miley approached her and accused her of touching her children and talking about their family. An argument ensued between the two women. At one point, a soccer coach unsuccessfully tried to get them to stop arguing, the incident report said. Gold-Charbonneau alleged Miley then said, ‘If you ever touch my boys again,’ but didn’t finish her sentence, according to the report. Gold-Charbonneau then contended that Miley, with a clenched fist, bumped her body into Gold-Charbonneau’s, the report said. Gold-Charbonneau asked Miley whether she wanted to fight, according to the report. “Suspect yelled ‘Shut up’ and she (victim) replied ‘You shut up.’”The incident ended with Miley walking away, according to the report. So who’s the one making threats here? Interesting note: Edward Miley was standing beside Stefany at during this alleged incident with Rhonda … and he sought an affidavit from her to be used in our divorce. Hmmm, who’s stirring the pot here?

Wow. Public enemy Number 1, right?

It’s just astonishing what people can get away with when there’s an agenda (like a divorce) and they use the police and subsequent report filings as weapons against their opposition. You’ve heard of suicide by cop? Well, this is character assassination by cop. And courts.

How do we see it? Stefany Miley’s a victim of all that. Her husband obviously had an agenda while they were going through their divorce, and he played it like Sir Lawrence Olivier playing a role in a Shakespearean drama. And Sanson is a willing participant in this character assassination plot. Where do you think he got his information from? He and Sanson are friends.

Sanson’s headline screams, “Judge has a history of violence” — He acts like he’s super-sleuth again by writing pompously that, “We filed a Freedom of Information Request,” like it’s some big secret he’s digging up, as if he’s just discovered where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. It’s all public record. Police reports are a matter of public record. The FOIA filing is simply theater.

And of course, he uses all this as yet another opportunity to publish Stefany Miley’s police mug shot. Disgusting.

Gimme a break.
