The state commission on judicial conduct has levied three charges against a Harris County criminal court judge who they are now seeking to suspend.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- The state commission on judicial conduct has levied three charges against a Harris County criminal court judge, whom they are now seeking to suspend.
The investigation started after a member of the DA's office filed a complaint in 2020 and followed up with several supplemental complaints. The inquiry concerning Judge Bynum also said the commission received an anonymous complaint against him in 2021. The document lays out behavior toward the DA's office described as"retaliatory" and"improper and abusive". They found that Bynum made rulings in cases without a motion or notice to the state or defendant for their participation.The commission claims Bynum did not follow the law in several instances, including collecting DNA specimens from defendants convicted of certain misdemeanor offenses.
