Judge Impeachment Court of Sendai High Court, who is being charged by the Impeachment Court for dismissing postings on Twitter, has decided to suspend his duties until a ruling is issued. I found out.
This is the first time that a judge's duties have been suspended over the transmission of SNS.
Judge Impeachment Committee of the Sendai High Court (55) repeatedly posted on Twitter about criminal cases and civil trials that he was not in charge of, and the Judge Indictment Committee of the Diet decided whether to dismiss in June. I have filed a lawsuit with the Impeachment Court to hear.
The impeachment trial date has not yet been decided, but it is related to the impeachment court, which consists of members of the Diet and members of the Diet, decided to suspend the duties of Judge Okaguchi until the decision was issued on the 29th of last month. I found out by interviewing the person.
The law stipulates that the Impeachment Court may suspend the duties of the accused judge if he finds it necessary, and this decision will prevent Judge Okaguchi from performing his duties.
There have been nine cases in which judges have been prosecuted in the past, and all of them have been suspended until a judgment is issued, but this is the first time that their duties have been suspended over the transmission of SNS.
Judge Okaguchi is known as a unique judge who actively disseminates information on SNS, and is disciplined by the Supreme Court twice in 2018 and last year over posting about the bereaved family of the case where a high school girl was murdered. I am being punished.
