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.
