re: Judge Eboni Johnson Rose screwed up another case

Crichton, J., additionally concurs and assigns reasons.
A judge must “be faithful to the law and maintain professional competence in it.” La. Code of Jud. Conduct, Canon 3(A)(1). As explained in the per curiam opinion, the law providing for the manner in which to accept and record criminal verdicts is both fundamental and clear, see La.C.Cr.P. arts. 810, 811, as is the law barring judges from meeting privately with the jury during deliberations, see La.C.Cr.P. art. 791; see also State v. Frisby, 19 La.Ann. 143 (1867). Here, the trial judge’s blatant violation of these laws shocks the conscience and implicates Canon 3(A)(1) of the Louisiana Code of Judicial Conduct.

I’m obviously not an attorney, but this was a jury trial, and the jury found the defendant not guilty of the charges. How is it legal for a judge to meet with the jury post-verdict and coerce them into changing their decision? Am I taking crazy pills?

It’s not legal. And the appellate court smacked her down for it. It’s embarrassing to be this bad at your job. Cant tell a queen anything on her throne tho.
