Sexy Campbell County (TN) Judge Amanda Sammons, who wears NOTHING under her robe, under fire escapes liability for ‘inappropriate’ comments as a prosecutor
By Jamie Satterfield of the Knoxville News Sentinel
A Campbell County judge who is the target of two separate investigations in a slew of complaints of misconduct and abuse of power has received a bit of good news from an appellate court — calling a woman "a jerk" and ordering deputies to "take that (expletive) to jail" doesn't merit the label of outrageous conduct under civil law.
In an opinion issued last week, the state Court of Appeals agreed a lawsuit filed against General Sessions Court Judge Amanda Sammons while she worked as a prosecutor should be dismissed despite the "inappropriate" comments she made about a Claiborne County mother in a custody dispute.
Sammons has been the subject of allegations including ordering children removed from their homes without just cause, elevating a charge against a woman without authority, refusing to dismiss charges against the wrongfully accused over a fee they shouldn't have been assessed, barring defendants from entering the courtroom and then jailing them for being late and enacting a drug-testing fee without legislative approval.
Since the newspaper began its reporting on the judge, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has launched a criminal probe in the warrant changing allegation, and the state Board of Judicial Conduct is probing a stack of complaints challenging her fitness as a judge. TBI agents and an investigator with the board, which polices judges, have been conducting interviews in Campbell County in the past few weeks as part of those two separate investigations.
