For their November 7, 2013 broadcast, your “Crimes of the Century” co-hosts considered the antics of former Texas state judge Elizabeth E. Coker who was forced to resign after being caught texting instructions from the bench to an Assistant District Attorney who was assisting in the prosecution of a case in Coker's court.
Joined by Kenneth Kendrick, Drum Major’s for Truth Program Director, and former deputy sheriff Mark Lipton, the COC team addressed multiple topics from the importance of protecting judicial whistleblowers; the need for U.S. judges to bring more industry diversity to the bench; and the hypocrisy of pressuring Coker off the bench when pro-prosecution bias is all too common among criminal court judges and clearly favored among private prison industry fat cats as well as their politician supporters.
