Ky. judge who 'exploited her judicial position to satisfy her personal desires' removed

An Owensboro, Ky., judge accused of misusing her position to influence criminal cases that involved her adult son has been ordered removed from the bench.

The Judicial Conduct Commission, which handles allegations of misconduct by Kentucky judges, voted 6-0 to remove Family Court Judge Julie Hawes Gordon, of Daviess County.

After a three-day hearing earlier this month, the panel found that Gordon exhibited an “extensive and repeated pattern” of “exercising improper influence for her own benefit and the benefit of her son in his numerous criminal matters,” according to a 25-page order signed Friday by commission Chairman Carroll M. “Trip” Redford, III.

She used “extremely poor judgment” and engaged in “profoundly unwise action – on and off the Bench – that continued for years,” the panel found.

3. How come we don't have the same type of panel for the Supreme Court?

An independent bipartisan commission that would say Yes or no.

4. Hey judge Julie Hawes Gordon Why is your son a druggie?

Trouble at home. Now you've been relieved from your office sitting in judgement of other offenders, you now have time to address WHY your son is a druggie.
