An Alcoholic Court Stenographer Once Repeatedly Typed “I Hate My Job” Instead Of Transcribing Cases

in #funny7 years ago

This is an older story I recently came across, that provides a bit of comic relief from all of the craziness going on in the world.

Daniel Kochanski, an alcoholic Manhattan court stenographer went  rouge recently and transcribed multiple court cases by typing in  gibberish, including the phrase “I hate my job” . 

The cases that he recorded included the 2010 mortgage-fraud trial of  Aaron Hand, who was also convicted of trying to hire a hit man to take  out a witness against him. A source familiar with the case said Kochanski’s transcripts of that trial were a total mess. “It should have been questions and answers — instead it was gibberish,” the source told the New York Post. 

The source also said that “He hit random keys or wrote, ‘I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job,’ over and over.” 

Claudia Trupp, of the Center for Appellate Litigation, said her office was handling the appeals in Hand’s and nine other cases. “I never had a situation where a single court reporter was responsible for so much damage,” she said. “This situation is terrible for everybody,” Trupp said. 

“It’s very difficult to come up with a sufficient record based on everybody’s recollection years after the event.” Kochanski, 43, was fired in March 2012 for misconduct, according to  the Office of Court Administration spokesman David Bookstaver.

Hilarious! Gotta love the sobering moments in life that remind you people just made most of this shit up! The concept of civil justice within society relies on one person clicking buttons, or it all comes crashing down? Go team human!

That's some serious monkey-wrenching for liberty right there.

Awwwww I hope you're feeling much better now. It is well with you
