In Louisiana, Judge Tiffany Foxworth Roberts faces possible impeachment after the Judiciary Commission recommended her removal from office. The allegations against her include false statements about her military service and misleading statements about a car theft that occurred during her 2020 campaign. The Commission emphasizes that these actions undermine the integrity of the justice system.
Michelle Beaty, special counsel to the Judiciary Commission, argued before the Louisiana Supreme Court that Foxworth Roberts corrupted the judicial process through her dishonesty. She stressed that judges must maintain high ethical standards to maintain trust in the justice system. Beaty highlighted that Foxworth Roberts had shown a pattern of dishonesty by repeating her lies.
Judge Jay McCallum questioned the commission’s recommended sentence, citing another case involving Judge Eboni Johnson Rose, who received only eight months of paid time off for misconduct. McCallum suggested that Foxworth Roberts’ lack of cooperation may have influenced the recommended sentence. Beaty responded that every case is unique and has different circumstances and willingness to cooperate on the part of the judges involved.
Judge Cade Cole emphasized that the problem was less the original misconduct and more the cover-up. He found that Foxworth Roberts should have clarified her military rank when questioned under oath. Foxworth Roberts’ attorney, Steve Irving, argued that the attempts to remove her from office were excessive and that the details of the case did not justify impeachment.
