copy photo
Judge Guy F. Bush was known for having at least six wives, most married for brief periods with tumultuous divorces. He stepped down from being a judge after the scandal of marrying his second wife, Leila LeGrand Bush, who had been married to a man Judge Bush put away for grand theft, John H. LeGrand, and then reduced his sentence once Leila divorced him. Judge Bush and Leila LeGrand married in Tijuana after Bush's divorce from his first wife, Grace E. Bush, finalized.
