Show Notes
Central Florida Judge John Jordan faces a public reprimand for two incidents violating the states code of judicial conduct. In one case, he made an insensitive comment about chopping cotton during a plea hearing for a Black woman. In another, he heatedly clashed with public defenders during jury selection. Jordan, who has received letters of support from the Black community, has agreed to the reprimand, acknowledging his remark could be seen as offensive due to historical stereotypes. The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission recommends the reprimand, with no evidence of racism in his rulings. The final approval from the Florida Supreme Court is pending.
