State Supreme Court Chief Justice
Robin Davis appointed three senior status judges to preside as judges in
Randolph County Circuit Court following the suspension of elected judge Jaymie
Wilfong.
Justices suspended Wilfong for the
rest of her term in an order issued Thursday. It agreed with the state Judicial
Hearing Board that found Wilfong committed 11 violations of the code of conduct
for judges during a 26-month affair with a man who appeared before her in court
hearings. The Supreme Court censored Wilfong on each violation.
Wilfong’s term expires Dec. 31,
2016.
