Judge Olu Stevens accepts 90-day suspension over comments: A months-long legal saga over judicial ethics violations – entangled in discussion of race, juries and fairness of the criminal justice system – ended swiftly in court Monday where Jefferson Circuit Judge Olu Stevens accepted a 90-day unpaid suspension and offered an apology.
Most of the judicial misconduct charges levied by the state’s Judicial Conduct Commission arose from social media and other comments in which Stevens attacked the county’s top prosecutor, Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine, alleging he was a racist who wanted to preserve the right to all-white juries.
