JACK DOYLE’S TOOTHPASTE DEFENSE: WE CAN’T PUT IT BACK

    Connecticut’s criminal justice system faces new scrutiny after claims that prosecutors bypassed rules of venue and ignored constitutional safeguards. State’s Attorney Jack Doyle has been accused of shifting cases between judicial districts without authority, undermining due process and raising alarms about prosecutorial discretion. Critics argue his reasoning—that errors cannot be undone because “you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube”—is a dangerous precedent that excuses violations rather than correcting them. Now, questions are mounting about how deeply such practices have taken root in the Nutmeg State, and whether judicial oversight will step in to restore accountability.

    Streeto’s Connecticut Judicial Candy Scandal

      In a stunning collapse of judicial decorum, Judge Melissa Streeto of Connecticut’s Superior Court dropped more than just opinions — she delivered “bags of dicks” as gag gifts to her clerks. Literally. The Rockville-based judge, known for her rulings on habeas petitions, left x-rated candy shaped like male genitalia along with affectionate notes on subordinate desks, all while donning her latex beneath the black robe of justice. The Judicial Branch is spinning, with Chief Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto offering weak reassurances while Streeto “self-reports” to the Judicial Review Council.
