The recent conviction of Dominic Joseph Badaracco for attempted bribery reads like a grade B movie involving a motley cast of characters, including a sitting judge of the Superior Court; a ham-handed attempt by Badaracco to bribe the judge; and the transcript of a secretly recorded conversation between the judge's and Badaracco's mutual friend, Ronald "Rocky" Richter, in which the oft repeated "what the f—" triples as a noun, a verb and an adjective.
While reporting and commentary on this case has understandably focused on the attempted bribery of Judge Robert Brunetti, little attention has been paid to Brunetti's questionable involvement in this unfortunate episode and his apparent lapse of judgment that allowed him to become ensnared in a caper that if it weren't true would surely evoke a rhetorical, "You've got to be kidding me."
