Horrors of the Courtroom Lead Stenographer To Seek Disability Pension
A former court stenographer is asking a judge to grant her a disability state pension stemming from the accounts of crimes she had to listen to and record.
For 10 years Mary K. Morse heard stories of child abuse, murder, domestic violence, and child pornography while working at Salem Superior Court. The cases depressed her and led her to start drinking heavily again after a previous period of sobriety, according to court documents.
She is receiving a modest state pension now, but she is seeking a much larger accidental disability pension.
gimme me my money! there but for the taking! did it take her all these years to figure it out or just after she retired and realized she could have more?
1:09 I think I've slipped on all three and still working. You can sue for anything, but may not win. At the rate we are going everyone will file for disability for some reason, sooner the better.
Wait a minute. She ASKED for that job! Applied, competed with others to get it, and landed it! If she decided it was't for her, she could have applied for a different job!
No one forced her to stay there. If she gets disability over this, EVERYONE should get disability.
She learned about the potential types of cases while training to even apply for the job. She could have quit any time after being hired if it was so gruesome. Court reporters are fast accurate typists; she could have switched to the less glamorous medical records arena.
Think she may just have become accustomed to premium brands of liquor and had trouble making her pension stretch to cover her thirst.
And now she is going to have to make her case in a courtroom where every courtroom employee, from the Judge to the clerk, sees and hear what she is complaining that she had to see and hear, every day. Her case will appears to be frivolous to those who will decide its merit. Drinking to cope was her mistake. She deserves no compensation for that.
