Texas Judge Resigns After Being Caught Texting Instructions To Prosecutors To Help Win Convictions

Texas Judge Elizabeth Coker resigned ahead of being investigated for misconduct.

…she admits that she texted instructions to prosecutors in order to help them convict the defendants whose cases she heard. She also is accused of other indiscretions, including meeting with jurors and attempting to influence them to convict defendants. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct suggests that she lied to them as well, perjuring herself. She’s out of a job, but apparently will face no criminal or civil sanctions for her crimes; nor will the victims whose trials she perverted be freed.
