Report says Judge Keller shouldn't be ousted
By Peggy Fikac - Express-News
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Sharon Keller shouldn't lose her job or be punished “beyond the public humiliation she has surely suffered” for refusing to accept a last-minute appeal from a death row inmate, a special master presiding over her ethics trial concluded Wednesday.
State District Judge David Berchelmann's report was released five months after a high-profile hearing in which the State Commission on Judicial Conduct accused the state's highest-ranking criminal judge of bringing “public discredit” to the judiciary.
Despite the allegations, Keller has remained the presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
