The Georgia Supreme Court last week removed a state appeals court judge from office after an investigation found that he broke campaign finance rules and took advantage of an elderly client, reports Reuters. The court upheld a hearing panel's findings that Christian Coomer, a former state legislator, had acted in bad faith for his own financial benefit. Coomer has been suspended from office with pay since January 2021, after Georgia's Judicial Qualifications Commission filed disciplinary charges against him.
