Judge Cedric Simpson held an unprecedented “evidentiary hearing” to determine if a Jewish prosecutor could prosecute Palestinian protesters based solely on the fact that the AG is a Jewish woman. And when the Jewish Federation sent a letter to the court expressing shock at such antisemitism from the bench, he opened an investigation into them. And he used the letter, which the Jewish AG in no way solicited, as a reason to consider removing her from the case. Eventually he succeeded in getting the prosecutor’s office to drop the charges because the court’s refusal to review the evidence against the defendants and instead to focus on the government’s lawyer was a waste of their time, the AG decided. Watch Michigan AG Dana Nessel explain what happened. This judge’s clear bias should be a matter brought before the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission.
