Repudiating Keller: Presiding judge slapped by rules change

Thats the title of Houston Chronicle's editorial on Court of Criminal Appeals recent rule change allowing the electronic filing of appeals in the death penalty appeals.

The members of the Court of Criminal Appeals who supported instituting e-mail filings should be commended for taking a necessary step to restore the image of Texas jurisprudence. That cleansing process will not be complete until the Commission on Judicial Conduct takes strong action to sanction Judge Keller for her reckless abuse of the legal system and a defendant's rights.
