Ind. Courts - Disciplinary charges have been filed against the Hammond City Court Judge, Jeffrey A. Harkin
Here is the long news release from the Indiana Courts. A quote:
Two of the three counts of misconduct include allegations Judge Harkin participated in an unlawful fee distribution plan which cut the State of Indiana and Lake County out of their rightful shares of court costs on traffic infractions. The remaining count of misconduct includes an allegation Judge Harkin made inappropriate remarks to a traffic defendant who wanted to contest an infraction ticket.Here is the 13-page document headed “Notice of the Institution of Formal Proceedings and Statement of Charges.”
[More] Here is an interesting list of earlier ILB entries on Judge Harkin.
