Georgia's judicial watchdog agency has suspended a Gwinnett County judge who was indicted last month on computer trespass charges.
The Judicial Qualification Commission's three-person hearing panel suspended Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader on Tuesday, citing the indictment and a commission rule requiring the suspension of any indicted judge if the indictment is related to or would adversely affect their ability to do their job.
"Judge Schrader has the utmost respect for the JQC and understands its decision for temporary suspension until a jury has the opportunity to hear all the facts and circumstances that support her plea of not guilty," Schrader defense attorney B.J. Bernstein said.
