Judge Blanchard’s Defense Moves Forward | Birmingham News
Description
Suspended Jefferson County Probate Judge Yashiba Blanchard has new lawyers — Matt Hart and Jess Nix — who’ve requested a four-month delay in her ethics hearing, citing overwhelming prep work: 70+ witnesses and a 120-page report detailing seven serious charges. The court emphasized speedy proceedings, but defense noted she’s been denied courthouse access during suspension. While open to settlement, they’re focused on a strong trial defense. Meanwhile, an audit of the court’s finances is underway, and charges include judicial failures, bias, harassment, and incompetence.
