Judge Casey Moreland of Nashville; ethical dwarf

 

The state of Tennessee presented Corey Moreland with a law license in 1984 after he graduated from the Nashville Law School.

 

The Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct found Judge Moreland guilty of the following misconduct.

 

In one matter, Judge Moreland presided over a domestic abuse case wherein David Chase beat his girlfriend, Laruen Bull. Judge Moreland decided not to hold Chase in jail for the 12-hour "cooling-off" period that is allowed by law for such situations. As one would expect, after his release, Chase returned to Bull as she was packing her things to leave him and he beat her for a second time. Both beatings took place on the same date, June 8, 2014.

 

One of the issues was a statement at the arraignment by Chase’s attorney, Bryan Lewis, who stated on the record that Bull and Chase were not actually dating. Lewis’ statement was later found to be patently false. As one might suspect, attorney David Chase, is a friend of Judge Moreland and has contributed to his campaign.

 

Subsequently, thee Tennessee State senators, Brian Kelsey, Mike Bell and Randy McNally filed a complaint with the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct in regards to Judge Moreland’s decision to waive Chase’s 12-hour jail term. The complaint stated on part: “Judge Moreland has engaged in actual impropriety and should be severely sanctioned by the board.”

 

As a consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct punished Judge Moreland by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

 

As we speak (ca. January 2015), Judge Moreland remains sitting as a Davidson County General Sessions Court judge in Nashville, Tennessee.
