Stephen E. Whitted, a Montgomery County lawyer, has been indefinitely suspended from practicing law in Maryland for filing numerous retaliatory and meritless claims against his ex-wife and judges over a decade, as ruled by the Maryland Supreme Court. The court criticized Whitted for misusing the judicial system, stating he displayed a lack of understanding of his actions, which included outrageous claims and repeated violations of court orders. In Georgia, Chief Washington County Judge Robert Reeves received a 30-day unpaid suspension after admitting to 33 counts of misconduct, including sexual harassment and improper courtroom behavior. Meanwhile, Montgomery County Municipal Court Judge James Piergie has been suspended without pay amidst calls for his resignation due to criminal charges alongside the county clerk of courts, Mike Foley, who faces indictments for theft and misconduct. Additionally, Judge Erin Gall from Utica, NY, has been suspended following a recorded incident at a graduation party that resulted in a recommendation for removal by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. These cases highlight ongoing concerns regarding judicial conduct and accountability across multiple jurisdictions.
