In a belated move, Judge Brenda Weaver, the one who has brought criminal charges through her former employee-turned-prosecutor, against two people who sought public records exposing Judge Weaver's misconduct (see my blogs here, here, here and here), and whose husband (another former employer of the pet prosecutor Alison Sosebee) reportedly triggered the surveillance and investigation against a publisher and an attorney seeking public records exposing his judge-wife's misconduct - resigned from the Judicial Qualifications Commission of the State of Georgia where she was a Chairwoman.
It took Judge Weaver more than a month to make that decision after a disciplinary complaint was filed against her, so, the judicial disciplinary authorities can at least proceed with the complaint against Judge Weaver without the embarrassment of having to investigate and prosecute their present boss.
Yet, Judge Weaver still did not resign nor was suspended from the bench pending resolution of the disciplinary complaint against her and the FBI investigation of the case, which she should do also, considering the circumstances of the case that already became public knowledge.
Judges are suspended pending a disciplinary complaint for much less than what Judge Weaver is accused of.
With an FBI investigation pending, with Judge Weaver acknowledging in the press her theft of public funds from the court operating accounts to give that money to a private law firm as a reimbursement of legal fees for a private individual (not a court employee), Judge Weaver belongs behind bars and not on the bench.
I hope the Judicial disciplinary authorities of the State of Georgia suspend, and then remove Judge Weaver from the bench, attorney disciplinary authorities take her law license, and criminal authorities put Judge Weaver where she belongs - behind bars, for grand theft, not to mention abuse of office.
Then the people of the State of Georgia may have some hope for the equal protection of law and the rule of law in the state applying the same way to judges as well as to average Joes.
