If the court orders you to turn over your cell phone, is it a good idea to get a different phone, wipe it, and populate it solely with two notes, one of which is "SUCK MY DICK"?

The guy with the cellphone, Damien “DDot” Washington, was previously represented in this case by Tyrone Blackburn until some kind of falling out.

Isn't it kinda weird to post a campaign ad saying "there really is no other choice" accompanied by an altered ballot where you've erased the other candidate's name?

More on Clayton County Judge-Elect Dietra Butler: turns out the reason her election is being contested by incumbent Aaron Mason is her being an inactive member of the state bar and therefore not authorized to practice law.

In 2023, Judge Dietra Butler had her appointment to Clayton County Juvenile Court rescinded.
Over the next two years, she sued every Clayton Co Superior Court judge, the superior court clerk, and the county itself.
Last month, she was elected Superior Court Judge. 🧵

Hard to see how this doesn't necessitate a new election.

In 2022, NYC paid $125k to settle a 2019 lawsuit related to conduct of the DOC captain arrested today. Rather than making her more cautious, her overtime hours blew up.

Again, a Georgia a case with hallucinations in a proposed order entered by a judge. Unsurprisingly, cites to State v. Payne.
(Seems like a good sign for Hannah that the CoA interpreted her case as remanded for _reconsideration_, rather than just correction of the order?)
Does Georgia have case law on judges' exercise of independent judgment in their opinions? I would think hallucinations carried over from a proposed order create a strong presumption that independent judgment was not exercised.

More AI misuse, this time by a lawyer and a court.
This is another situation where a lawyer drafted an order for a trial court that included fake, AI-generated cases, and the trial court entered the order without catching the hallucinations.
Court of appeal: "We find it troubling that counsel submitted such an order to the trial court, and regrettable that the trial court failed to identify any of these errors."
"Accordingly, we must, yet again, remind counsel, and lower courts, of their professional responsibilities...."

- Judge told to switch chambers w/ new colleague, doesn't want to
- Asks Supreme Court to intervene; files JQC complaint; emails rant to whole bench
- Gets kicked out
- Sues remaining judges, clerk, county, doesn't get anywhere
- Runs against one of the judges she sued
- Wins

There's almost no reporting on this, here's what I could gather from court docs:
In June 2023, a (new?) Presiding Judge was appointed to Juvenile Court, and Judge Butler had to switch to different chambers. Chief Judge Mack issued an order to the sheriff to assist with the move.

But, the story is not over yet: Judge Mason has filed a petition to challenge the election.

A lot of questions left. Was there more backstory or was the crashout really just about a new office? Did the incumbent judge do any campaigning? If so, how did this saga not make it to the press? Did he challenge her candidacy? (where would that show up?) What's the basis for challenging the election?
