Judge Susan Sexton
I am a former circuit judge with over 25 years of courtroom experience, where I handled a
panoply of cases ranging from the profound to the humorous; from end of life decisions to a
trust fund for a cat, which, incidentally, I dubbed “The Million Dollar P***Y”. Seems like I was
already anticipating a new career in media!

I am developing different products for the tv market, and I am in development as well:
learning a new industry. I’ve already mastered some basics. I’ve now incorporated the word
“slammed” into my daily lexicon, e.g. “Sorry I’m late, I’m slammed” or “ I have to change the
date, I’m slammed”.

I’ve never used that word. Every day whilst in the criminal division, I’d walk into a courtroom full
of felons, or felons to be. Maybe even an innocent person now and then. Justice delayed is
justice denied, so these cases needed immediate action: dispositions, pleas, motion hearings,
etc., because the next day brought approximately the same number of cases. I just thought it
was part of the job description, I didn’t know I was slammed. Of course, I did put people IN the
slammer, but that’s a different concept altogether.

TV is my passion, mostly drama or dramedy: Homeland is a favorite as is Mossad, which is an
Israeli series. House of Cards had me hooked as did Orange is the New Black, whose subject
matter I have more than a passing acquaintance with. I also love any Shondaland production. In
fact, one of my goals is to own a condo in Shondaland.

And, yes, with my rather cheeky introduction, you might expect that I would likewise enjoy
comedy…and I do.

I am currently talking with a producer on a docu-series based upon some cases that I’ve
handled. Unfortunately this week she was…you guessed it…slammed, so we rescheduled. In
addition, I am available for consultation/expert advice for a variety of legal questions.
So there you have it, my bio. Feel free to contact me for a brief, repeat, brief question on legal
stuff, if you are writing something of that genre. This means no calls about your drunk driving
charge. I’m happy to help gratis if I can, but expect me to ask you for contacts!
