Hundreds of emails circulated between officials included sexist, racist, violent jokes and nude photos of women.
PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice sent and received
hundreds of emails containing racist, pornographic, and misogynistic
material in correspondence with public officials.
Justice J.
Michael Eakin used a private email account with the pseudonym “John
Smith” to communicate with state and federal officials, including
prosecutors, judges, and attorneys. One email from Eakin among many
obtained by The Daily Beast suggests a battered wife treat her wounds by
“keeping her mouth shut.”
An email Eakin received from defense attorney Terry McGowan links to a
video titled “Craziest White Man,” which shows a man picking up Latino
day-laborers, who he then takes to immigration services. Afterward, the
man in the video comments on the need to “cull the herd, make sure they
don’t overpopulate.”
Another email from Eakin contains a joke about a man using a Taser to rape a woman.
