ADHD or an anger problem? Experts disagree about Sloop

ADHD or an anger problem? Experts disagree about Sloop Excerpts: SANFORD -- A psychologist testified Wednesday that the judge who locked up 11 people after they went to the wrong courtroom could, indeed, have a mental disorder, but that his real problem is that he's an angry man who uses intimidation to control others. Seminole County Judge John Sloop, 57, did not dispute those allegations on the second and final day of his trial before a panel of the Judicial Qualifications Commission, the state board that polices judges. This is the fourth time Sloop has been in trouble with the commission. Each earlier time, he promised to cause no more problems. Napolitano, Sloop's psychiatrist, said she expects no more problems from him. "As long as he takes his medication and continues treatment, he'll be fine," she said. Day and Napolitano also disagreed on whether ADHD was the reason Sloop ordered the 11 lost traffic offenders jailed Dec. 3, 2004. They had gone to the wrong courtroom, because of either faulty paperwork or bad directions from courthouse personnel. |
