Discipline, psychiatric exam recommended by Supreme Court counsel
Cleveland television station WOIO
is reporting “the Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court has recommended that Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Angela Stokes
be disciplined for what it calls abusive treatment of nearly everyone that
comes into her courtroom. “

| Judge Angela Stokes |
A report
from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel obtained by the station claims that
Stokes continues cases 300% more often than any other judge, that she has had
21 bailiffs since 1995, and that court personnel rotate through her courtroom
more often than others because of "burnout" and the abusive treatment
they receive.
The ODC report, finding that she "may be suffering from a
mental illness that substantially impairs her ability to perform her duties as
a judicial officer," recommends that Judge Stokes be given a psychiatric
examination.
