Panel: Douglas judge guilty of 'systemic incompetence'[Georgia]
Fox5Atlanta ^ | 4/3/24 | Randy Travis

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - She must go. That’s the unanimous recommendation from a hearing panel investigating Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson.

The first-time judge has also been the subject of several FOX 5 I-Team investigations since she took office in late 2020.

The three-member panel for the Judicial Qualifications Commission decided Peterson is guilty of "systemic incompetence" because she ignored courthouse rules, abused courthouse personnel, made inappropriate posts on social media and, in repeated cases, failed to do her job.

The extraordinary decision to remove Peterson follows four separate hearings starting in September 2023 where Peterson had a chance to testify and confront her accusers. She faced 30 counts of misconduct.

The one that troubled the panel the most involved Peterson's decision to jail a woman for simply trying to amend her marriage certificate to include the real name of her recently discovered father.

The report criticized Peterson’s attempt at a neighborhood meeting to get her HOA to settle a lawsuit she had filed, even though she knew the HOA was represented by an attorney.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office complained Judge Peterson ignored their orders and held a wedding after hours, allowing people inside without deputies present.

She once hit a panic button when a deputy was late escorting her to court, causing needless panic among security.

Another entitled Fani Willis wannabe.

Is the pendulum finally starting to swing?

The Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission would be the same institution that would hear complaints against Fani Willis. I seem to recall that one had been filed against her but I can't seem to find an article regarding the filing. (Media seems to hide info they don't want the voters to know).

Fani Willis is no doubt Next!! This is the commission set up by GA Legislature to clean up incompetent, Marxist/Soros, Leftist , judges. This has to thread the needle with the jungle dwellers who think Fani is some kind of (their kind) of small c “Christian”. She is like thousands of these self anointed “I be’s” based in the Warnock style “churchs” which are their mosques. Farrakhanites.

I wish Sheriff Earl Lee was still around.   He would have had something to say about it.

Government incompetence and politician/bureaucrat’s violations of American citizens’ rights? If that is what you mean, I plead “guilty”.

I’m not Yogi, but what “theme” are you talking about?

“Systemic incompetence”

I like that, though she will undoubtedly blame “systemic racism” for her ouster.

Sounds like she's on a career path leading to a higher state office.

I guess my reference to Yogi, as in “Yeah, Boo Boo, it’s them” was too obscure.

She can always get a court TV show. Black female judges are really popular these days.

Thinking about Douglas County and Sheriff Earl Lee (RIP) made me recall the time WSB reporters Mark Winne and the Rev. Ron Sailor (RIP), got into a fist fight over which one of them would use the helicopter to hop over to Douglas County.   I believe they both wanted to interview Sheriff Earl Lee.

Oh no, I got that part. I just had to add my other 2 cents. Boo, boo has always been right.
