Magistrate Herrera – a Facebook Friend of a man over whom she sat in judgement
Joseph Musumeci's Google-cached Facebook page, showing Consuelo Herrera among his 17 friends
Go back to my earlier post ‘Why the private affairs of magistrates cannot be private’.
Magistrate Herrera presided over a criminal case, the police v. Joseph Musumeci of Siggiewi, when she was already sleeping with Robert Musumeci of Siggiewi.
The affair was ‘secret’ and neither had left their spouse.
So the police could not object, even if they had wanted to do so in the first place.

Partijiet IL-PULIZIJA vs JOSEPH MUSUMECI
Now there’s more. And if nobody else has the wherewithal to make a formal complaint to the Commission for the Administration of Justice (quite frankly, I can’t see the Police Commissioner doing it), then I am going to take legal advice and do it myself.
Joseph Musumeci is, inevitably, on Facebook. There were just 16 people on his list of Facebook Friends at the time this information was cached. Among them are several Musumecis, including Robert.
Something told me that Magistrate Herrera, a typically unwise Facebook aficionado, would also have been there before she deactivated her account in the backlash over her 45th birthday party photographs, to say nothing of the infamous denim mini picture which fronted her Facebook profile.
So I ran a search and, bingo, there she is on Google’s search listings – which have yet to catch up with current events in Malta – as one of Joseph Musumeci’s few Facebook Friends.
And she’s also on the cached front page of Joseph Musumeci’s Facebook account, complete with that infamous denim mini profile pic.
The screen shot I’ve uploaded here is too small for you to see her name and face clearly, but she’s the one on the far left, with the name highlighted in yellow.
If the police want a copy of the full screen shot to prove that the magistrate is consorting with at least one man they tried to prosecute (let’s say nothing about consorting with them), I’d be happy to give it to them.
I imagine they are going to raise no protest about the fact that she was having clandestine sex with his close relative while presiding over his criminal prosecution case.
I have yet to decide whether Magistrate Herrera’s behaviour in this matter is evidence of incredible arrogance or incredible stupidity. What it certainly is evidence of, in my view, is a complete disregard for the norms of behaviour within the administration of justice.
But we’ll leave the Commission to decide that.

Eh, imma din “malafama moqzieza”, Daphne.
H.P Baxxter: I agree with you totally that now it’s becoming too much.
I take it that you are referring to the magistrate’s behaviour.
So first she sits on a high bench in court as a magistrate to acquit a defendant of all charges against him, then she sits on a low stool and bares her thighs as his friend on Facebook.
U hallina.
As Joe Grech Attard once said somewhere on The Times’ comments board – “How low can we go”.
Qed nirreferi ghal-magistrata, ovvjament.
Good work, Daphne. You’re doing what the police should have done themselves had they not been too busy chasing Jesus impersonators.
They haven’t got access to Facebook at the police headquarters, or so they say.
first of all i am not a friend of musumeci and i do remember when we where better off when we had no baggers in the street we had no hungry maltese taking food to eat we did had no waiting lists in our hospitals we had good education we had first class medical care and free medicines we had people demostrating on everything that moved we had a fise in fuel every 4 to 5 years and the rise was always of 1c we had ladies with pots and pans demostrating about water when we where building this country after the desaster PN left in the sixties we where building our factories we where given decent wages we where introducing social state social services we where givint the vote to the women when the PN voted against we where running this nation into the 21centery while others where planting bombs and trying to destroy our nation and going abroad with the malta file who is the pillar of democracy you daphne with all the venom you are spreding who is doing damage to his own PN which you are being condemed by your own loyal seriouse PN members reflect for a while than you can ans in the pattettic way you always do i know you are trying to find out who i am but until know i will leave you guesing bye bye baby girl P.S Do you know that under your dare PN leadership poverty is as high as 20%
Just in case you have forgotten – the keyboard contains the following characters : , . ;?!
Your non punctuated diatribe seems to come straight out of communist North Korea or Iran – so if you used to enjoy that life so much, I woudl advise you to emigrate there.
This would be a difficult task for you, Daphne, finding out who this person is, as there are too many of them who cannot really spell and probably never heard of a spelling checker too.
[Daphne – I’m not trying to find out who he is. I couldn’t care less.]
Their version of taking us into the 21st century was no colour TV, no computers, pathetic telephone system, no video players, very limited imported clothes, food, shoes, sweets, toothpaste, etc.- unless of course you had Fusellu and his pet minister on your side. The list was endless.
@ giorgio – Hang on mate. In those days I wanted to have a pathetic telephone installed at my parents home. Everybody else in our street had it. Even people who came to live there five or six years after my father had applied got it. But not us of course. Anyway it’s too long a story so I will come straight to the conclusion. Sunday afternoon I got nicked for assaulting the minister in question and six of his goons. Of course I did nothing of the sort, even though it was hard to resist. He came to speak to me and all I did was give him a piece of my mind, then I fixed my stare at the goons who together with the minister turned round and left. Two hours later I was out with no charges. Tuesday my parents received a note to go and pay some stupid fee and by the end of the week the telephone was installed. Good old days eh.
”had no waiting lists in our hospitals” – this takes the biscuit! During the doctors’ strike the mortality rate in our hospitals rocketed. Who would want to go and queue up for bad service?
Many people went to private clinics, but then the private hospitals were closed.
Nowadays everyone wants to be treated at Mater Dei Hospital because it’s the best of the best, hence the waiting lists.
“Decent wages”? I think you meant “frozen wages”.
“. . . .but until know i will leave you guesing..”
I can’t stand the suspense.
@Tony
The good education we had at the time does not seem to have affected you much, has it?
It’s d txt msging gnrshn.
It’s more like Strouger Generation.
Ur jkng, r u? 10q
@Tony
If you had a good education you would have learned how to wriite properly – e.g. ‘baggers’, ‘desaster’, ‘where instead of were’, ‘centery’, ‘spreding’, ‘seriouse’, ‘pattettic’.
Tony, your English teacher would be so proud of you. You are a prime example of education in the wasted Labour years.
Continue, Tony … we used to go Sicily to buy a piece of chocolate, toothpaste, pasta, or we bought it for a lot of money on the black market.
Colour TV – we paid LM50 over and above the fixed government price. Telephone service with a waiting list that never ends – either that or we had to pay some minister’s canvasser.
The poverty? Where are the ‘baggers’? You can observe people using mobiles and IT devices.
Education – irrid ikollok wiccek u wara l-istess biex tghid li fi zmien il-hakma socjalista kienet ahjar l-edukazzjoni. Staqsi li dawk li qed jigradwaw wara li jidhlu l-universita bhal studenti maturi.
@Tony
Can you learn how to spell please? It`s such a feat trying to read your comment that most people give up. Having said that, I don`t agree with Giorgio. What does he mean by “there are too many of them”? You can find both Blue and Red illiterates. They come in all shapes, sizes and colours.
Scerri-Herrera’s only foreseeable face-saving defence can be “temporary insanity due to mid-life crisis”.
Whilst the rest of us carry on as normal, some people just can’t accept the fact that age is catching up with them.
@ tony
Was your English teacher’s name Agatha, by any chance?
May be i am not perfect in my english, and i do not use ,.-‘,. in my writting are we living in Malta or we are in another planet.
Did none of you listen to the news people left dying in a corridor and a women gave birth on a strecher ,people left without the medicine and are told to bring there own,people are sent back home not treated that may be the hospital is state of the art but the service is worst than in Iraq it self, may be you are a few that you go and see the surgeon privately and the next day you are seen in materdai given the blue carpet treatment just for the simple reason that you went to see him privately.
You are all so full of hate and to be honest i pity you.
God save us all from this venim and your darling GONZIPN li milli qhedna ma hemm xejn>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>……………….
Tony:
Malta is not a planet, despite our overinflated sense of our own importance to the universe.
One step forward – you have noticed that there are punctuation marks. Now learn how to use them better – that way we could understand you better.
Now for your dying in the corridor – people die every second and everywhere – if it just happens that this person had a life threatening condition whilst waiting for a bed to be prepared, what can anyone do.
The same for that woman who gave birth on the stretcher – even here, it is normal practice that births do not wait – have still got to see one being prevented from happening.
What I can say about Mater Dei is that in most places accessible to the public the amount of wilful damage (toilet seats torn off their hinges, damage to the lifts handles, lift notices that are torn, toilet paper strewn around – and this when the cleaners clean the place at least twice a day – seats torn in the waiting room etc) is unbelievable.
What is for sure is that the hospital is:
1 finally working also in the afternoon with numerous outpatient clinics being open;
2. the radiology department working till late in the evening;
3. same situation for the lab;
4. a state of the art blood result system where results are never lost and are always available to the doctor;
5. hundreds of operations being performed on a daily basis;
6. good food;
7. comfortable beds with all the amenities;
8. preventive medicine e.g. breast screening;
9. specialised clinics – breast clinic, stoma clinic, diabetes clinic – all very well run by very dedicated nurses and doctors;
10 a service that is at least 1000 times better than the one available during those fantastic times under the socialist rule.
So please, as it seems that you have never left this country for a long period of time, and given your level of education obtained during those golden days under socialist rule, it is possible that you might understand only Super One, and so it is no surprise that you have no idea about the level of the hospitals and hospital services abroad.
Tony,
My great-uncle died on a bed/stretcher in the corridor at St. Luke’s, after being left unattended for several hours from the time of his admittance. And that was under Labour.
Don’t lose heart, Tony, you’re not very far. A few private lessons will do the trick.
@Tony
if you are so patriotic, then write in Maltese …. ha naraw kemm taf tikteb bil-Malti. Jew qed tipprova timpressjonana tikteb bl-Ingliz!
And please enlighten us as to this venim you are talking about.
Daphne, please tell us who he is. We’re quite sure you know.
