The Case That Raises More Eyebrows Than Answers

Judge Bridget Robb’s attorney Meghan Lucey the wife of former Washoe County Commissioner Bob Lucey. Interesting choice.

Picon expected to see a high-powered defense attorney swoop in from Las Vegas — or even California — to represent almost-former Judge Bridget Robb. That’s usually how these things go when the stakes are high and reputations are on the line.

Instead?
We got Meghan Lucey — an attorney whose practice is primarily family law.

Wait. What?

That choice alone raises questions. Not because family law attorneys aren’t capable — but because this case, at least on its face, doesn’t scream custody dispute. It screams damage control, optics, and political fallout.

And before anyone dismisses the choice of counsel as random, let’s not skip over an important footnote.

Meghan Lucey is the wife of former Washoe County Commissioner Bob Lucey.

That doesn’t automatically mean anything — but in a town where politics, the courthouse, and personal relationships constantly intersect, it’s not an insignificant connection either.

Which brings us right back to the larger question.

If this were purely about legal muscle and reputational triage, one would expect a heavyweight defense attorney with deep judicial-defense experience. Instead, the optics suggest something else entirely: local familiarity, political context, and strategic positioning.

Add to that the growing chatter that Kelci Skye Binau may not move forward with the case, and the questions multiply rather than fade. If the complaint ultimately goes nowhere, the focus will shift from what happened to why it was filed at all.

We continue to hear from multiple sources this situation may have far more to do with the Department 10 judicial race than with the trio at the center of the complaint — Robb, Addison, and Binau, but Robb pulled out of the race so Sigurdson is safe and remains on the bench, but is that what this was all about?

Is that provable? Not yet.
Is it being widely whispered? Absolutely. People are questioning the timing of the Binau’s complaint, and why she waited so long to go to the Reno Police Depatment.

And in Washoe County politics, whispers have a way of becoming headlines.

If the case stalls, disappears, or quietly resolves itself, it won’t close the book. Instead, it will invite a deeper look into motives, timing, and who benefits — and the biggest beneficiary so far is Department 10 Judge Kathleen Sigurdson.

Because when law, politics, and personal relationships collide, coincidence is rarely the final answer.

Good question, why are taxpayers still paying Robb. Didn’t we just pay a whole lot of money for Robb to turn into an armature private detective.
