“In many ways, the sponsors of Prop. 8 have been put at significant disadvantage throughout the case. Regardless of the reason for it,” Pugno said.

3. After being accused of wrongdoing, being convicted by a jury of his peers, and having the conviction reversed years later by the Guam Supreme Court, former Guam International Airport Authority Executive Manager Jerry Yingling has filed an ethics complaint against the Superior Court judge that presided over his case. Yingling was convicted in March 2005 of unauthorized use of a government credit card and official misconduct, but Guam’s appellate court found there was no evidence to prove that the former government official did anything unrelated to his official business.
Now Yingling has asked Ethics Prosecutor Bruce Bradley to review judicial misconduct and ethics complaints against Superior Court Judge Steven Unpingco.
“In my opinion Judge Steven S. Unpingco should not be sitting on the bench at all. I don’t think he’s competent and I don’t think he has the judicial temperament to judge others. I don’t want any other Americans such as myself to experience what I did,” Yingling said. “There’s nothing more horrible than to be falsely accused and falsely convicted and I lay that blame squarely on the judge.”
