Peter Tourison, a New Jersey municipal judge who drove while intoxicated, told an ethics committee at a hearing Wednesday that the proper quantum of discipline is a reprimand, nothing more. But comments by members of the state Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct suggest that he may draw a stiffer sanction if his antics while waiting to take a breath test are put into the equation. Tourison's lawyer told the panel at the hearing that the case will be "forever remembered as the penny in the mouth case."
