Scientology judge scolds lawyers in New Braunfels (stalking case)
NEW BRAUNFELS — With as many as 20 lawyers in the courtroom, often fighting over every inch of legal ground, it's no surprise that the harassment case filed by Monique Rathbun against the Church of Scientology and six others has been moving slowly.
For six months, District Judge Dib Waldrip has patiently endured extravagant arguments, voluminous paper filings and questionable objections over obscure points of procedure.
But on Monday, when yet another important hearing was sinking into the legal tar, the judge finally had enough. Hurling his spectacles to the courtroom floor, Waldrip delivered a good tongue-lashing to all present.
“We're spending time doing nothing, nothing except burning money and the court's time and resources and the Comal County taxpayers' money,” he exclaimed, adding, “I'm about to the limit.”
