Interesting. Apparently he got recalled and immediately tried to coach for a girl's tennis team.

No problems detected there.

Very happy to have voted in his recall. Having been through some legal proceedings myself and seeing firsthand what power a judge has, especially when the jury is not in the room, it doesn’t give me a lot of faith in our justice system and shit like this guy are a big part of why.
