SAN ANTONIO — A Texas judge has received a public warning for asking a jury to keep deliberating because God told him the defendant they convicted was innocent.
Robison told jurors to continue deliberating after they reached a guilty verdict, saying her conviction would be a misuse of justice, the San Antonio Express-News reported. Robison’s public warning falls short of suspension but is a more severe form of punishment than being privately warned. He received 18 other complaints over the incident, the report stated.
Two medical professionals asserted that Robison’s outburst was caused by a “temporary, episodic medical condition referred to as a ‘delirium,”‘ according to letters he provided to the commission. The professionals said Robison is no longer experiencing the same impairment.
