John G. McBain

Judge John McBain
County
Violated Code of Conduct
Impropriety, Impartiality & Diligence
In Your Own Words, What Happened?

Judge John McBain is impatient, unable to be impartial, and is incredibly unprofessional. He has gotten into physical fights with defendants and engaged in unconstitutional upward departures. He defied Court of Appeals orders to appropriately resentence a defendant. They informed him he was in the "wrong line of work."

The Judicial Tenure Commission privately admonished him (i.e., did nothing) in their 2023 Annual Report: http://cms4files.revize.com/mjtc/annual_report/docs/2023%20Annual%20Report.pdf
