… Circuit Judge Willard Proctor testified before the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, which is holding a hearing into 11 charges of ethical misconduct against the Pulaski County judge. Proctor told the commission that the Cycle Breakers Inc. non-profit and the Cycle Breakers program he administers from his courtroom “mirrored” one another, and that he’d negotiated a mortgage for the non-profit using the court’s own profit and loss statements. His lawyer has been trying to make a distinction between the two.
A probation officer also testified that she’d heard Proctor pray that God would strike reporter Mara Leveritt dead. His prayers weren’t answered. Mara’s report, updated at 3 p.m., from the hearing is on the jump.
