Officials at a Manhattan court are desperately trying to make sense of court transcripts in 30 cases after the stenographer allegedly typed gibberish and, in one case, "I hate my job, I hate my job," over and over, according to a published report.

The New York Post reports that Daniel Kochanski, 43, typed random keys or "I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job" while he was supposed to be transcribing court proceedings.

The Post, citing a high-level source, reports Kochanski's "gibberish" typing may have jeopardized convictions by giving defendants a chance to claim crucial evidence is missing.

Kochanski was fired in March 2012 for misconduct, an Office of Court Administration spokesman told the paper. The Manhattan DA's office arrested him and forced him to try to make sense of his shorthand typing, sources told the Post, but the effort apparently failed.

Judges have been holding "reconstruction hearings" in which everyone involved in a case testifies about they remember, despite years having passed since the cases.

Kochanski denied bungling the transcripts.

"I always did my job 100 percent," he told the Post, adding that he was in recovery and will be one year clean by July.
