Oklahoma City judge scandal might impact 100s of convictions

[bubbaturbo]

All over the news. Judge apparently had affair with a prosecutor. We know who the judge is but not the prosecutor(s).
Isn't there some prosecutorial misconduct too?

Not just one. Apparently he was making the rounds through the female prosecutors at the DA's office.

I wanna know why people, i.e. ALL of them, aren't being disbarred and looking at criminal charges. You will never be able to convince me favors weren't traded ... I mean besides the obvious sessy ones.

All of these people have advanced degrees. Years in University classes, some of which ostensibly covered ethics.

And not one of them thought to make up some excuse to recuse themselves from certain cases ? Really?

And these are the ones ruling over us.

Kinda used his position to garner favors... I heard about him on the news, he sets a bad example for judges and gives them a bad name. All aren't like thim though, some take their job seriously.

Those kind of people think they’re smarter than everyone else, and therefore, we the people are too dumb to ever figure out what they’re doing.

I think most of the folks on the "politics" side of the law have been out of the ethics business for some time now

Shades of Joyce Gilchrist, not for the sexual part although that was her accusation for being fired, but for the amount of criminal convictions we might see overturned out of this. Gilchrist had around 1,700 cases where her evidence and testimony were major factors in the convictions.

Twenty-three were death penalty cases of which twelve were carried out. Several convictions were overturned after retesting the evidence presented and people walked out of prison.

I'm wondering if this will result in the same.

Gilchrist died in Houston in 2015.

PS, I've seen some of the female DA's here . . . WOOOF!
