Shelby County General Sessions Judge John Donald has been censured by the Board of Judicial Conduct (BJC) for retaliating against an attorney who filed a complaint against him, the Memphis Daily News reports. The BJC ruled last Thursday that Donald violated judicial ethics when he filed a complaint with the Board of Professional Responsibility against attorney David Gold and one of Gold’s witnesses, also an attorney. The filing came after Gold lodged a complaint with the BJC that Donald refused to hear his arguments and notify him of a future hearing date.
