State Supreme Court Tightens on Circuit Exchange in Grand Jury Probe
The Arkansas Supreme Court issued a supplemental opinion refining its prior order barring an exchange of circuits arranged by Circuit Judge Russell C. Roberts to panel a grand jury probing a Pope County fee system. Justice Lyle Brown notes a judge should not act when personally affected, as Roberts would be selecting a colleague based on his own judgment, constituting discretionary action. The court also permanently bars Kirby from swapping circuits with Roberts, citing public policy and potential bias, while affirming Kirby’s impartiality.
