Judge Donna Scott Davenport was reported in the article as having disobeyed a ruling from a higher court.
> Davenport, finding that a mother had neglected her daughter, granted custody to another couple. Two higher courts disagreed and ordered Davenport to reunify the mother and child. Instead, Davenport terminated the mother’s parental rights.
I looked her up, she’s still serving as a judge (term is up in 2022). I am surprised that the judicial system keeps judges around that disobey higher courts. You would think that violating a basic foundation of the legal system would grant swift rebuke, but no.
