The
Commission on Judicial Performance, though aware that the Governor's
Office had already received Murphy's letter of resignation, announced
on May 10, 2001 that it was removing Murphy from office. Commission
Director-Chief Counsel Victoria Henley declared at the time that
the commission had no procedures for reconsideration. Nonetheless,
without public announcement, it subsequently acted to lift the purported
removal, censure the former jurist, and bar him from receiving judicial
assignments. This was reported in the course of a discussion of
the CJP in a Nov. 5, 2001 "Perspectives"
column. |
