In November of last year I posted a video showing a West Virginia judge flipping out at a traffic stop in Moorefield, West Virginia. In response to a stop he admitted was justified, he nevertheless pulled rank on a young police officer, immediately identifying himself as a judge, getting his supervisor on the phone, and later trying to get him fired, including threatening judicial retaliation against that department. Since Judge Williams contested the matter, as he’s entitled to do, on June 14 a contested hearing was held before West Virginia’s Judicial Hearing Board over the course of three days. On September 19, the Judicial Hearing Board held a meeting to discuss the evidence presented, and on September 22, they issued an order finding that numerous judicial ethics rules were violated and recommending specific discipline to the West Virginia Supreme Court.  More, including the order: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2022/09/26/update-wv-traffic-stop-judge-recommended-for-suspension/ 1st Video with the traffic stop body cam: https://youtu.be/48B9TPeVeqo 2nd Video about the Walmart allegations: https://youtu.be/ufbDvGypTuU Original statement of charges posted at this link: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2021/11/17/body-cam-shows-judge-flip-out-at-traffic-stop-now-charged-with-abusing-authority%ef%bf%bc/ Video to submit? https://forms.gle/HmwnDQKvwvYPxe967 Twitter: https://twitter.com/johnbryanesq Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnBryanLaw FAIR USE NOTICE This video may contain copyrighted material; the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
