"Texas judge charged with blocking execution appeal"

"Texas judge charged with blocking execution appeal": The Associated Press has a report that begins, "A Texas judicial commission filed proceedings Thursday against the presiding judge of the state's highest criminal court, charging her with improperly cutting off appeals for a condemned inmate on the night of his execution. The action by the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct against Sharon Keller, presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, could result in her removal from office."

And at the "Austin Legal" blog of The Austin American-Statesman, Chuck Lindell has a post titled "Keller violated judicial canons, state agency charges."

You can view the judicial misconduct charges at this link.
