In fact, Judge Romero remains confused about the difference between criminal court and family court. Perhaps it was his propensity to jail parents from his perch on the family court bench for disproportionately minor actions - leaving some with felony charges on their records that adversely impact everything from their ability to vote to their ability to earn a living to support their children - that landed him in criminal court in the first place. How can a family court judge incarcerate a person with felony charges from the family court bench? This is a regular practice with Judge Romero - an act of retribution by a man in a black robe who abuses the power bestowed upon him. Below you will see several such cases provided. We encourage you to contact Governor Bill Richardson (write to: Office of the Governor, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Room 400, Santa Fe, NM 87501, or call him at (505) 476-2200, or email him Governor Bill Richardson) and demand the removal of this vindictive and unstable man from the bench.
