Federal prosecutors to see if former judge Camp's cases were compromised by drug use, racial bias
ATLANTA - Federal prosecutors are disclosing allegations that a federal judge already convicted of drug possession may have shown racial bias when sentencing defendants earlier this year.
U.S. Attoey Sally Yates says a woman who developed a personal relationship with former U.S. Senior Judge Jack Camp in May has told prosecutors he said he had a difficult time sentencing black men because they reminded him of someone he didn’t like.
Yates says her office will comply with requests from defendants who want a review of their cases before Camp. For those sentenced by Camp from May through September, Yates says prosecutors will not oppose requests for re-sentencing.
Camp pleaded guilty last month to some of the charges. Yates says Camp has denied the bias allegations.
