Suspended Pahrump Justice of the Peace Michele Fiore, despite being found guilty by a federal jury of wire fraud, can still serve in Nevada – at least for now. Fiore was suspended without pay on Monday after the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline ruled unanimously. The Las Vegas Review-Journal previously reported that since her initial suspension, she has been paid over $20,000 despite not sitting on the bench. In a public hearing, Fiore’s attorney, Paola Armeni, stated that all the Nye County commissioners supported Fiore’s request to keep her pay during her suspension. But Nye County’s Public Communications Manager, Arnold Knightly, states, “The county commissioners have not made a public stance on the continuing pay for Judge Fiore.”
