Difference between revisions of "Child endangering Cobb County judge prepares for senior judgeship"

Despite his notoriety, the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) has not shown itself as attempting to deter Flournoy. “The reality is if the JQC was functional and doing its job in Cobb, we wouldn’t have so many problems with our judges,” said Marietta Attorney, Matt McMaster. “[Flournoy’s] decisions and influence have already enabled dangerous situations and there is no reasonable expectation that he will change his philosophy or habits once he is a senior judge. Senior judges are responsible for handling sensitive matters that come before the court, such as temporary restraining orders for stalking and abuse and similar matters related to child custody. Flournoy has a reputation of succumbing to his ego, deferring his judgment to his friends (who aren't necessarily known for their integrity in the legal community) and not actually considering the material facts of a case. We can't have this with our senior judges.”
