Judicial panel recommends removal from bench for Fulton County judge who illegally jailed witness

The panel wrote: “From a man who was hungry and homeless and could not get necessary medical treatment, to a mother who mightily struggled financially for almost three years awaiting a child support ruling, to a father whose entire relationship with his children for years was a single ten-minute FaceTime call per week, the consequences were significant and outsized. These parties were denied the certainty, stability, and relief that they deserved from the judicial system.”
