North Georgia judge to get public reprimand

SUMMERVILLE, Ga. – The state Judicial Qualifications Commission says a Superior Court judge will be reprimanded in public after a complaint from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation about her conduct.

Cheryl Fisher Custer, the Judicial Qualification Commission’s executive director, said Wednesday that Superior Court Judge Kristina Cook Connelly Graham of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit will be reprimanded next week by another judge in a Summerville Courtroom.

Custer declined to provide details, and Ann Willis, the judge’s secretary, said Graham would have no comment.

In his complaint, GBI director Keenan said the judge violated judicial ethics by repeatedly cursing at law enforcement officers over their handling of a drug investigation.
