Convicted Pierce County judge resigns

The Pierce County Superior Court judge convicted of patronizing prostitutes and threatening one man has resigned.

The court said Judge Michael Hecht submitted his resignation Monday, effect Nov. 16.

Presiding Judge Bryan Chushcoff says the resignation will help restore public confidence and allow the governor to appoint a new judge. Chushcoff says the court's business has been hampered since March when Hecht took a leave of absence, following his arraignment.

He was convicted Wednesday in Tacoma and faces up to 90 days in jail when he is sentenced Nov. 19.

    You Aint Hear the Last of This Story......
    ...now every scum-bag who did their day in his court, "standing tall before the man", will appeal their sentencing. I believe his actions will have long term ramifications on our society, the legal system and the taxpayers, when some very naughty people end up being turned loose on the streets.

    The charges against Heckt came to light right after he got elected and as a result, he heard few if any important cases. Rest easy.
