The Ohio Supreme Court suspended indefinitely and removed from office a Cleveland judge for alleged “unprecedented misconduct” over a two-year period that included “blatant and systematic disregard of due process, the law, court orders, and local rules.”
Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr, elected to the bench in 2011, “also was repeatedly dishonest, treated court staff and litigants disrespectfully, abused her power to issue arrest warrants and find individuals in contempt of court,” according to statement from the Ohio court system.
In March 2021, Carr was charged with five counts of judicial misconduct. Carr violated rules governing the appropriate dress, order, and decorum for courtrooms.
“Her bench was littered with dolls, cups, novelty items, and junk,” according to the Ohio Supreme Court. “She presided over her courtroom wearing tank tops, T-shirts – some with images or slogans, spandex shorts, and sneakers. She discussed with her staff and defendants a television show called “P-Valley” about a fictional Mississippi strip club.”
