Judge Removed From Bench

An Ohio judge, who failed to adopt written rules for mask wearing and other coronavirus prevention measures, has been removed from two cases by the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Although judge, Mark Fleegle announced some preventative steps after a complaint, his lack of written procedures makes it difficult for jurors and others to know what’s expected of them…that’s according to Chief Justice, Maureen O’Connor. In some Ohio counties, courts are postponing trials because of legitimate difficulties attracting jurors over concerns about the coronavirus.
