"Trial of Judge Allen likely to be intense; Ethics and perjury case going to trial Monday is 'unprecedented'"

"Trial of Judge Allen likely to be intense; Ethics and perjury case going to trial Monday is 'unprecedented'": Today in The Pensacola News Journal, Paul Flemming has an article that begins, "Illicit sex. Profane outbursts. Lies. And that's just the judges. On Monday, Michael Allen, a 1st District Court of Appeal judge, goes on trial before a panel of the Judicial Qualification Commission. If the charges against him are found to have merit, he ultimately could be removed from the bench. His case -- that flamed into public when he called out a fellow judge in the usually staid pages of a court opinion -- has roiled the state's largest, most influential appeal court in Tallahassee for more than four years."

The newspaper also contains articles headlined "Roots of the case against Judge Michael Allen" and "W.D. Childers' role in the Judge Allen case."
