The Ohio Supreme Court has barred judge Stephen Edwin Weithman from the practice of law for two years for ogling a litigant in case before him, mocking her attorney, and telling an opposing attorney he would give him a dollar if he could make her cry on the stand, among other misconduct.

The court also said Weithman had been diagnosed with a probable mood disorder, though Weithman hadn't raised the issue.

The bench might not be the best place for him. Two years isn't going to change that.
