Judge Bill Anderson should be suspended, that’s according to state Sen. Brent Taylor.
Anderson’s bond decisions, which have generated debate in the public eye, have not been well received by Taylor.
He’s said to have emailed the Board of Judicial Conduct an amended version of his allegations against Judge Anderson, asking them to suspend him while they looked into the matter.
In a recent interview, Judge Anderson stated that since a person is innocent until proven guilty, he does not take their existing accusations into account when setting bail.
“In his most recent misstatement of Tennessee law, Rogue Judge Anderson says he cannot consider the facts of the open case before him when setting bail for a defendant,” Taylor said in a social media statement. “That is completely wrong and a dangerous misapplication of the law for our community. It is unacceptable for a sitting judge to be so wrong on the law and still sit on the bench pending investigation.”
