Florida Judge Removed For Flagrant Violations Of Ethics Rules
"Florida Judge Removed For Flagrant Violations Of Ethics Rules
ORLANDO, FL--The gravy train is over for a Ninth Circuit Court Judge of Orange County who has collected nearly $85,000 this year for doing nothing after he was placed on a paid leave of absence in February while under investigation by the Judicial Qualifications Commission of the Florida Supreme Court.
The court took final action in the misconduct matter this week, removing the judge from the bench because he continued to act as a criminal defense attorney while performing judicial duties in 2000 and that he later advised that same criminal defense client to leave the country in order to avoid prosecution.
The Court had conducted a hearing in the matter in September and a decision had not been expected for months."
