Judge Claudia Jordan of Denver slipped a message to her clerk during a trial.
The note said:
“Blind on the right side. May be falling. Please call someone.”
The clerk called 9-1-1. She told the judge not to worry, help was on the way.
The judge made a noise.
“I wanted someone from maintenance,” she said.
The trouble was the window blinds on the courtroom’s right side. The judge appologized to the paramedics when they arrived.
