Judge Joseph Montalbano Replaced Justice Richard Raspallo

After more than four years of being denied, due process, fairness and the adequate and effective assistance of counsel that the Sixth Amendment of the United States guarantees and the case being moved from Judge to Judge and one particular magistrate the Honorable Joseph Montalbano replaced Justice Richard Raspallo.

Although the case ‘appeared’ to originally be assigned to the Honorable Richard Raspallo over the course of more than four years it now seems, since Victor Colebut felt the need to go pro se due to defense attorney conflicts and nothing of substance being done by defense attorneys, that the Judge assigned to this case is Justice Joseph Montalbano.
