The judge admitted he told jurors that the conviction would be a 'miscarriage of justice.'
A district court judge in Texas was censured after he told a jury to continue deliberating over a defendant they convicted, saying God had told him she was innocent. The judge reported himself to the Texas Judicial Conduct following the remarks, the committee said on Monday.
The judge reportedly said that God told him Perez was innocent, and he urged the jury to continue deliberating. The judge said in his self-report that he “became increasingly concerned that [he] was witnessing a miscarriage of justice,” during the trial. He confirmed he had asked jurors to deliberate 10-15 minutes more “to make certain they were not making a mistake.”
