Overview

Patrick Fitzgerald (died after 1600) was an Irish judge who held the office of Recorder of Dublin. Elrington Ball states that he belonged to a junior branch of the leading Anglo-Irish FitzGerald family whose head was the Earl of Kildare. He was said to be "a man learned in the law" and a devout member of the Church of Ireland. He was appointed Recorder of Dublin in about 1599. For several years previously he had acted as an extra judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland), due to the failing health and mental incapacity of Sir William Bathe, one of the permanent judges of the Common Pleas. He replaced Bathe as a permanent judge of the Common Pleas in 1600, but was superseded soon afterwards in favour of the veteran English barrister Peter Palmer. He had already stepped down as Recorder in favour of Sir Edward Loftus. His precise date of death is not recorded. References Ball, F. Elrington The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921 London John Murray 1926 Smyth, Constantine Joseph Chronicle of the Law Officers of Ireland London Butterworths 1839

“A CIA officer's name was blown and there was a leak and we needed to figure out how that happened, who did it, why, whether a crime was committed, whether we could prove it, whether we should prove it. Given national security was at stake, it was especially important that we find out accurate facts.”

“When citizens testify before grand juries they are required to tell the truth. Without the truth, our criminal justice system cannot serve our nation or its citizens.”

“Mr. Libby's story that he was at the tail end of a chain of phone calls, passing on from one reporter what he heard from another, was not true. It was false. He was at the beginning of the chain of the phone calls, the first official to disclose this information outside the government to a reporter. And he lied about it afterward, under oath and repeatedly.”
— Cheney Adviser Resigns After Indictment on ABCnews.com (October 28, 2005)
“We brought those cases because we realized that the truth is the engine of our judicial system. We didn't get the straight story, and we had to - had to - act.”

“I can't give you answers on what we know and don't know, other than what's charged in the indictment. It's not because I enjoy being in that position. It's because the law is that way. I actually think the law should be that way. We can't talk about information not contained in the four corners of the indictment.”

“My job is to investigate whether or not a crime is committed, can be proved and should be charged. I'm not going to comment on what to make beyond that. You know, it's not my jurisdiction, not my job, not my judgment.”
