Yet another indictment for disgraced jurist

Posted on 5:00 AM by Unknown
Disgraced Galveston County Judge Christopher Dupuy is back in the news once again as he was indicted and arrested (again) for violating the statute banning judges practicing law.

Apparently Mr. Dupuy, after being suspended from the bench without pay as the result of his previous indictments, decided it was a good idea to advise his girlfriend to ignore a court order in her child custody case that he thought the order was incorrect.

But, oops, since he is still considered a judge, he is barred from the private practice of law (though there are a handful of exceptions to that prohibition). Of course there is also the question of why anyone would ask Mr. Dupuy for legal advice (never forget that he was in trouble with the State Bar while campaigning for office).
