Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission proved seven of eight counts of misconduct it alleged against Judge James Justin

 

After presiding over a hearing early this year, a judge has found the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission proved seven of eight counts of misconduct it alleges of suspended Jackson County District Judge James Justin.

” Justin inappropriately disposed of cases, including his own parking tickets; had “ex-parte” communications with defendants resulting in case dismissals; and interfered with another judge, former Ingham County District Judge Pamela McCabe wrote in a report signed Thursday.

 

He also failed to follow prosecutors’ plea agreements; altered, deleted or stopped information from going to the Secretary of State; made misrepresentations to the tenure commission; and long delayed cases, she decided.

The decision was announced March 25, 2011.
