Ind. Courts - Judge Stephen M. Jessup, Howard Superior Court 2, admonished [Updated]
From the Indiana Courts, this release:
The Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications issued today a Public Admonition of Judge Stephen M. Jessup, Howard Superior Court 2. The Commission is a seven-member body comprised of the Chief Justice of Indiana, three lawyers elected by lawyers throughout the State, and three non-lawyers appointed by the Governor. Supreme Court rules give the Commission the discretion to issue a Commission Admonition instead of proceeding to formal charges when the judge consents to that resolution and when the Commission determines that a Public Admonition sufficiently addresses the misconduct alleged.The Commission’s Admonition can be found here.
Earlier ILB entries, under the headling "Howard County Judge accuses deputy prosecutor of drug use," can be found from 5/1/08, 5/3/08, and 5/8/08.
