IN RE: INQUIRY CONCERNING COUNTY COURT JUDGE KELLY COLLINS11/25/1987
haps volunteers and their labor resulted in an advantage to the courthouse and the community does not diminish the impact of this distasteful and improper practice. The use by a judge of a prisoner to carry out personal labors on behalf of the judge is nothing more than involuntary servitude. These acts alone justify the removal of the offending judge from his office of public trust and responsibility.
The failure of Judge Collins to keep records and make reports of the proceedings before him as required by Mississippi Code Annotated, 63-9-17 (1972), justifies his removal from office.
Therefore, while we accept the Commission's finding of fact, we are of the opinion that the respondent should be removed from his office because of his demonstrated pattern of repeated misconduct, because of the gravity of the misconduct, and because the solemn enactment of our legislature mandates his removal from office.
JUDGE KELLY COLLINS IS HEREBY REMOVED FROM THE OFFICE OF COUNTY COURT JUDGE OF YAZOO COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
ROY NOBLE LEE, C.J.; HAWKINS, P.J.; PRATHER; ROBERTSON; GRIFFIN; AND ZUCCARO, JJ., CONCUR. DAN LEE, P.J., AND ANDERSON, J., NOT PARTICIPATING.
