A Texas judge saw her career end in disgrace over allegations
of concerning courtroom behavior including claims she handcuffed
a lawyer during hearing.
Bexar County Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez, 60, resigned last
month under an agreement that permanently prohibits her from
serving as a judge in Texas.
The deal, signed on April 20, also resulted in criminal charges
against her being dropped.
Her resignation stems from a December 2024 argument involving
defense attorney Elizabeth Russell, according to Texas Public
Radio.
Gonzalez allegedly ordered bailiffs to handcuff Russell and place
her in a jury box after the attorney challenged a plea deal for
her client.
The now-former judge was indicted in January on charges of
official oppression and unlawful restraint, which have since
been dropped.
Special prosecutor Brian Cromeens said dismissing Gonzalez's
charges was 'in the interest of justice.'
The unlawful restraint charge was a second-degree felony punishable
by up to 20 years in prison.
. . .
Went full megalomaniac ...
Oh well, she can move to California - they'll love
her there.
The judge apparently REALLY wanted a 'domestic violence'
probation violator to go loose on the streets.
