Alabama Judge Ousted For Inappropriate Behavior

TALLADEGA COUNTY, AL — Talladega County Probate Judge Randy Jinks was ousted in a unanimous order filed Friday, standing accused of racist and sexually inappropriate behavior that included demeaning comments about women.

Jinks was removed by the nine-member Alabama Court of the Judiciary. Following a trial, the panel found that he "violated five judicial ethics rules including failing to uphold the integrity and independence of the court system."

Among the complaints against Jinks included claims that he watched and shared sexually inappropriate videos with staff, and said that George Floyd "got what he deserved" when he was killed by police officers in Minnesota last summer.

Jinks’ attorney denies the allegations, and said they are considering an appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court.
