Cokerwho sits on the bench over Trinity, Polk and San Jacinto countieshas resigned under fire in a texting controversy, according to a voluntary agreement with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.It stems from complaints and media stories alleging that Coker had engaged in improper ex parte text communications with Polk County Assistant District Attorney Kaycee Jones while Judge Coker presided over a criminal trial in August of 2012.With those complaints, the commission commenced an investigation into allegations that Judge Coker used Assistant District Attorney Jones to privately communicate information about the case to suggest questions for the prosecutor to ask during the trial among other issues.The agreement also said the commission looked into other complaints that Coker allegedy engaged in other improper communications and meetings with Jones, other members of the Polk County prosecutors office, the San Jacinto County District Attorney and certain defense attorneys.The agreement goes on to say the parties agree that the allegations of judicial misconduct, if found to be true, could result in disciplinary action against Judge Coker. As a result, the parties sought to resolve the matter without the time and expense of further disciplinary proceedings.Coker did not admit any guilt or fault.Who thinks she is an anomaly?

Bunchy Carter Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Not really surprised. The judicial system has been corrupted and despicable for a while.I literally let out one loud "ha!" Whenever someone extols the virtues of the American "justice" system.It's a great way to see who has been living ostrich style and who hasn't.

It affects the sight and hearing and results in a stretched ahole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capologist Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 One of the many reasons why I don't support capital punishment. It's bad enough to wrongly convict someone much less put someone to death who's innocent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
