**Update**
(Albuquerque, NM)  Another shocker featuring prostitution and a
prominent New Mexican as the   political news knows no end in these
dog days of summer. Here’s the sensational story:

District Judge Albert “Pat” Murdoch was arrested Tuesday afternoon on
charges including rape. According to the arrest warrant, the charges
stem from a secret video tape the prostitute made of the judge in his
own bedroom.

He was released Wednesday morning on $50,000 bail.
Murdoch is the chief criminal judge in the 2nd Judicial District in
Albuquerque. He is charged with criminal  rape and intimidation of a
witness.

The criminal complaint states undercover police received a tip of a
sex tape with the judge and a prostitute. The undercover officers
bought the tape from the woman and her pimp for $400. They say when
they watched it they saw Judge Murdoch having sex with that
prostitute.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that former University of New Mexico
President Chris Garcia was busted for promoting prostitution via an
Internet site. That one also sent shock waves through the city.

Who knows where the Murdoch case ends, but his arrest sends the
credibility of the state’s judiciary tumbling once again.

    Murdoch is not just any judge, he is the Chief Judge of the district

    Not to be a paranoid, but what are the chances Gary King set up the judge to pay him back for exposing King’s personal conflict of interest in the Vigil-Giron case. He thought he had everyone fooled on that one until the plucky judge put the brakes on him.
