The state’s highest court has voted to temporarily remove a Baton Rouge judge from the bench, agreeing with the Judiciary Commission of Louisiana that she poses a threat of “serious harm to the public” if she continues to serve. The Advocate reports the Louisiana Supreme Court’s order Tuesday immediately removes District Judge Eboni Johnson Rose from the 19th Judicial District seat she won in December 2020, pending the outcome of an investigation. No specific reasons for the disqualification were noted, but the commission has been investigating allegations of misconduct by the judge after questionable rulings.
