The Pensito Review, February 18, 2008 Federal Judge Robert Somma worked in private practice for years in Boston before he was appointed to the bench by President Bush in December 2004. Somma's Mercedes-Benz E320 sedan hit a pick-up truck from behind about 11:29 p.m. on Feb. 6, the police report said. No one was hurt. Somma, who lives in Newbury, Mass., fumbled in his purse for his driver's license before handing it to the officer who later arrested him, the police report shows. "He had a difficult time locating his license in his purse. He passed over it multiple times before removing it," officer Paul J. Thompson wrote in his report. The officer offered no other details with regard to the judge's attire or accessories. Nor would representatives of the Manchester Police Department or the city solicitor's office, which worked out the negotiated plea agreement with Somma's lawyer. When authorities removed him from the vehicle, they said he wore a black women's cocktail dress, fishnet stockings and high heels. Read More Here
