she was first censured and fined $1000 by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, but still said (under oath) she thought she didn't do anything wrong and would re-run for election. A delegate in the house of delegates said that since she thought she didn't do anything wrong, she was at risk of committing similar violations so introduced a resolution to have her impeached. She resigned and retired before it could go through. Two additional judges were charged with violations of the Judicial code for trying to interfere - one resigned/retired and the other was removed for the rest of her term.

- ww520 3y ago> Two additional judges were charged with violations of the Judicial code for trying to interfere So these judges formed a clique and covered each other? You heard of police covering up each other's wrong doing. You rarely heard of judges doing it.
- 77pt77 3y agoOf course they did. How do you think they get to those positions?
- lazyasciiart 3y agoDirect election, for many judges in the US. You don’t need other judges to support you for that.
- qingcharles 3y agoA judge here recently committed a crime, and then elected to proceed on a bench trial so he was tried by his friend, instead of a jury, and the judge found him not guilty pretty quickly :)
- mccrory 3y agoI love how police and judges can simply retire if they’ve been breaking the law long enough. Why should these criminals get to retire? Why should they get to collect a pension?
