Judge Julie Canter was sworn in Monday as the interim general sessions and juvenile court judge at the Johnson County Courthouse in Mountain City, reports the Tomahawk. The Johnson County Commission voted 12-1 for Canter to replace former judge Perry Stout, whose June 15 resignation for “immoral” behavior went into effect earlier this month. Canter, a Johnson County native with 17 years of experience as an attorney and former prosecutor, will now serve until an election in 2024 to fill the remainder of the term.
