Judge Impeachment Court of Sendai High Court, who has been accused of repeatedly posting inappropriate posts on SNS, will hold its first trial on the 2nd of next month. I decided.
Judge Impeachment Okaguchi (55) of the Sendai High Court heard in June last year whether to dismiss the judge for repeatedly posting inappropriate posts on SNS regarding the bereaved family of the murder of a high school girl. He was accused by the Impeachment Court and is currently suspended from his duties.
Regarding Judge Okaguchi, the Impeachment Court, which consists of 14 judges from both the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives, has decided to hold the first trial from 1:30 pm on the 2nd of next month.
According to the people concerned, in addition to reading the criminal charge, Judge Okaguchi himself and lawyers are expected to make statements at the first trial.
This is the first time that an impeachment trial has been held over the transmission of SNS, and if dismissed, the legal profession will be lost, so defense teams and support groups say that the judge's act of expression is restrained.
Judge Okaguchi is known as a unique judge who actively disseminates information on SNS, and has been warned by the Supreme Court twice in 2018 and after posting about the bereaved family of the case where a high school girl was murdered. Has been disciplined.
