  ...
  At the motion-to-suppress hearing, Judge Burgess ruled that Moses' search and arrest procedures had been improper."Now, that is obviously saying the police officer did something unlawful here, and that is, I understand, a comment and a conclusion that the police officer should take as quite a comment on what he did," Burgess stated, adding that he was making his remarks on the basis of witness testimony and could not say for sure what had happened that night on 14th Street SE.

  Washington City Paper District Line: Stephen Glass:... - [Cached Version]

  Instead, Glass is now clerking in D.C. Superior Court for Judge A. Franklin Burgess Jr.
  ...
  Burgess says that out of the 100 or so applicants that judges usually get for a clerk's job that pays roughly $40,000, Glass was the best, having passed the bullshit detector with flying colors.
  ...
  "He was recommended to me," says Burgess."He had a good record in law school.I wanted to give him a chance to prove himself, which he's done.I'm disturbed by the fabrications.But I believe in giving people a second chance.He told me about it.I was satisfied with his explanations....I think he's done very well."
  ...
  It's no paradise for Burgess, either.He looks a little bored this morning, and his interaction with tenants comes off as gruff.
  
  There's only one person bursting with energy today.Glass walks in, files in hand, with his head up-way up.
  
  I notice his walk first.It's a practiced walk, weightless, as if he's trying hard not to disturb a soul, to preserve the necessary anonymity of a clerk.His head tilts to the side as his feet move effortlessly down the aisle of snoring mothers and fathers.
