Although Court of Criminal Appeals Presiding Judge Sharon Keller faces possible removal from office for her actions shortly before the state executed Michael Richard on Sept. 25, 2007, Keller has not flinched in her hearing on misconduct charges. She maintains she did nothing wrong.

“I was doing exactly what I was supposed to do,” Keller testified Aug. 19 before 37th District Court Judge David Berchelmann Jr., the Texas Supreme Court-appointed special master for In Re: Honorable Sharon Keller.
