Bored Judge IMs Wife While Court's in Session

Evidently a judge can find court proceedings as dry and boring as the rest of us do. The ABA Journal reports that New Mexico Judge Eugenio Mathis has resigned from his post after admitting to using the court's Internet connection to send IMs to his wife during work hours. The IMs sent to his wife, a fellow court employee, apparently communicated insults against other employees, made reference to ongoing cases and sometimes contained sexually explicit content.
