Both Sides Object to Special Master’s Findings in Judge Sharon Keller Case

February 19, 2010

Prosecutors for the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct argue in objections filed Wednesday that Court of Criminal Appeals Presiding Judge Sharon Keller's "willful and/or persistent conduct" in the case of Michael Richard authorizes the commission to sanction her. They were responding to the findings of fact the special master in Keller's case submitted to the commission last month, finding that Keller should not be removed from office or be publicly reprimanded for her conduct in connection with Richard's case.
