Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro – a.k.a. Judge Jeanine – has a strong pedigree which includes a dozen years as the District Attorney for Westchester County (NY) as well as a tenure as a judge of the Westchester County Court.

Judge Jeanine is known for her strict and conservative views of the law which helps explain her popularity with Fox viewers.

In November 2017, Jeanine Pirro was stopped by New York State Police troopers for driving 119 miles per hour in the Town of Nichols, NY, which is near her hometown of Elmira, NY.

When she was stopped by troopers, Ms. Pirro was driving in a 65 mph zone. According to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles, she faced up to 11 points on her license for driving more than 40 mph over the speed limit.

Ms. Pirro has pleaded guilty to speeding, although she was able to negotiate a reduction in the charges.

Pirro has pleaded guilty to driving 95 mph in a 65 mph zone. She must take a defensive driving course and pay nearly $400 in fines.

“I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving,” Pirro said in a statement released by Fox after she was busted. “I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences.”

An interesting perspective from an otherwise ‘hanging judge’…….
