Florida Judge Allegedly Choked Clerk Over Late Paperwork


A judicial discipline panel on Thursday recommended that the Florida Supreme Court suspend a Broward County circuit judge allegedly caught on tape last month putting her hands around the neck of a clerk and shaking him, according to The Broward Palm Beach Times.

Fort Lauderdale Judge Vegina “Gina” T. Hawkins was charged Thursday with “inappropriate conduct” under the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct and her behavior was deemed to have shown an “unfitness to serve,” and recommended her immediate suspension, according to a recommendation released by the investigative body of Florida’s Judicial Qualifications Commission, which oversees investigations of judges.
