LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky judge who was accused of misconduct for a series of racially charged comments aimed at a prosecutor has been suspended by the state Judicial Conduct Commission. Olu Stevens, a circuit judge in Louisville, accepted a 90-day suspension without pay in an agreement with attorneys for the commission. The charges stem from Stevens' social media comments accusing a local prosecutor of wanting all-white juries. Stevens is black and the prosecutor is white. Stevens told the commission he was wrong and his conduct was improper.
