Court Stenographer typing ONLY 'I hate my job' over and over
Alcoholic stenographer causes chaos in court by typing ONLY 'I hate my job, I hate my job' over and over
Daniel Kochanski, 43, was fired for typing gibberish or 'I hate my job' repeatedly instead of actual court dialogue
Thirty cases were affected and the appeal of ten convictions could hinge on the sabotage
Judges in the cases had to re-create some elements of the trial to repair records
Kochanski is an alcoholic
Quote:
A Manhattan court stenographer with a drinking problem jeopardized the outcome of more than 30 verdicts by repeatedly typing 'I hate my job, I hate my job,' instead of the actual trial dialogue.
Officials are rushing to repair the damage caused by Daniel Kochanski, 43, with 10 cases going through the appeals process potentially able to claim that crucial evidence is missing in their conviction.
Alcoholic Kochanski's transcripts were an utter mess according to court sources familiar with his case saying, 'It should have been questions and answers - instead it was gibberish'.
What kind of breakdown.
