Ding Dong She’s Gone!

    Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto’s long, chaotic reign over Connecticut family court is finally finished. After twenty-five years of fear, fury, and scorched-earth rulings that shattered families statewide, the most infamous figure in the Nutmeg Judiciary has slunk off into taxpayer-funded retirement.
