Judicial Censure for Hostility Toward Defendant
It is a violation of the Oregon Code of Judicial Conduct for a judge to call the defendant a “piece of shit” and say that he “personally hopes that [Defendant] rots in prison.” Specifically, it is a violation of:
- “JR1-101(A) (judge shall observe high standards of conduct so that integrity, impartiality, and independence of the judiciary are preserved)”, and
- “JR 1-101(C) (judge shall not engage in conduct that reflects adversely on the judge’s character, competence, temperament, or fitness to serve as a judge).”
In re Barnack, __ Or ___ (Feb. 7, 2013) (per curiam).
