Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case (update)

A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job.

Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias.

He told investigators three mystic dwarves - Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.

The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary.

The bench backed a medical finding that the judge was suffering from psychosis.

Judge Floro has been quite a regular vistor to this page over the past year or so since I first posted about him. He appeared to scour search engines for mention of himself then bombard those sites with huge amounts of legalese, as you can see from his comments here and here.
