Judge tells jury to acquit accused sex trafficker because God said she's innocent

vendredi 8 mars 2019, 20:29 , par BoingBoing
In Comal County, Texas, judge Jack Robison, presiding over the trial of accused sex trafficker Gloria Romero Perez, walked into the jury room after the jurors landed on a guilty verdict and urged them to reverse their decision because God says she's innocent. Unswayed, the jurors stuck to their guilty verdict. Another judge later ruled the case a mistrial while the Texas Judicial Commission let Robison off with a public warning. From My San Antonio:

'The judge later apologized to the jury, and said something to the effect of, 'When God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it,'' officials wrote in the report...

In his self-report, Robison told the committee he was experiencing memory lapses at the time and was under extreme stress due to treatment for a medical condition and the death of a close friend.

Robison provided letters from two medical professionals that Robison's outburst was caused by a 'temporary, episodic medical condition referred to as a 'delirum.'' The professionals said that the issue appears to be resolved and that Robison is not currently experiencing the same impairment.
