Judge Sharon Keller (Update)

By Tim Zinnecker

Last February, Dan blogged about Texas Court of Criminal Appeals presiding judge Sharon Keller and her decision concerning a last-minute appeal from a prisoner on death row.

In January, I mentioned that a special master presiding over Judge Keller's ethics trial had issued a 16-page report on the matter.

Yesterday the  State Commission on Judicial Conduct decided not to remove Judge Keller from office.  Instead the Commission issued a "public warning" to her. 

You can read more on this story here and here.  The "Commission's Findings, Conclusions and Order of Public Warning" is available here.
