Recommend Reprimand For Judge Bardgett in Ethics Probe
A Missouri disciplinary panel urged the Missouri Supreme Court to officially reprimand Judge John Bardgett of St. Louis for conduct generating the appearance of impropriety. Bardgett faced accusations of intoxication and engaging with House Speaker James Godfrey during a pending case, though he was later disqualified from related proceedings. The commission found the overall appearance of conflict in the public evening with Godfrey, not a direct rule breach, and noted no evidence of discussions on the case during that night.
