Court Asked to Remove Prosecutor in Exposure Case
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A state appellate court has been asked to remove a special prosecutor in the case of a Tulsa County district judge accused of indecent exposure.
Lawyers for Judge Jesse Harris asked the state Court of Criminal Appeals yesterday to order an Osage County judge to disqualify Washington County District Attorney Rick Esser and his staff.
Court papers say the appeals court should allow oral arguments addressing issues of misconduct that affect not only Harris' rights but also the appearance of fairness in the state's criminal processes.
Defense attorneys claim Esser's office engaged in an abuse of power in an attempt to force Harris from the bench.
Harris is accused of exposing himself to two women in March. Harris filed a civil lawsuit against the two women last month.
What others are saying
- You reap what you sow!I am not surprised, because this idiot was my family court judge from 92 to 96 or 98. He was bought off by my ex's mother, (she bragged about this, though he denied it) and my ex got away with everything while this judge was in charge. My ex never paid child support (still hasn't in 16 years, finally going after him) and used to bring copies of money orders with all the numbers blacked out so you couldn't trace them, claiming he'd mailed them to me. The judge kept giving him more and more time and never did anything. My ex took our baby after getting the judge to sign a MOTION (diff from an ORDER) giving him custody in a small extra paragraph. Judge harris admitted what my ex did was illegal, obviously he hadnt read the motion before signing it. It was very hard to get my son back. I had to file a Writ, and got my son back, but it took 6 weeks, and the judge did NOTHING to my ex for doing that!!! even though I proved to the judge that he did it on purpose and it shouldve been a felony. To top it off: I remarried the next year and this idiot judge ended up in my Lamaze class for my next baby. He was SO clueless (he was in there with his then wife Yvonne, they were expecting at the same time we were) he did not even know how to put on a diaper!!!!! I remember thinking: and this guy presides over FAMILY cases???? You reap what you sow, Judge!
