Legal columnist Michael Gaynor said in February that Durham Chief Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson has his own problems with judicial propriety. When Hudson made comments that two grand jurors broke the law by talking to the media, Gaynor said, Hudson should have kept his mouth shut:
It was pretty clear to John Stevenson of The Herald-Sun that Judge Hudson was calling those two grand jurors law breakers: “Two grand jurors broke the law when they spoke about the Duke lacrosse case on national television this week, and they possibly could be penalized for contempt of court, Durham’s senior judge said Wednesday.”
NOTHING LIKE PREJUDGING AND MAKING PREJUDICIAL PUBLIC STATEMENTS, RIGHT, JUDGE HUDSON?
Is it a Durham thing?
In Gaynor’s view, Hudson’s extra-judicial comments were as egregious as Nifong’s.
