Last February, Dan blogged
about Texas Court of Criminal Appeals presiding judge Sharon Keller and
her decision concerning a last-minute appeal from a prisoner on death
row.
In January, I mentioned that a special master presiding over Judge Keller's
ethics trial had issued a 16-page report on the matter.
Yesterday the State Commission on Judicial Conduct decided not to remove Judge Keller from office. Instead the Commission issued a "public warning" to her.
You can read more on this story here and here. The "Commission's Findings, Conclusions and Order of Public Warning" is available here.
She shoudl be grateful they didn't sentence her to death!
