A New Jersey municipal judge is denying that she violated ethics rules when she sent what judiciary officials say were a series of “discourteous and undignified” emails to a local prosecutor.
Camden City Municipal Court Chief Judge Christine Jones-Tucker, charged with violations in sending a series of emails to a local prosecutor, then pretending she did not know about them when questioned by a defense attorney, doesn’t dispute in her July 23 answer that the email exchanges occurred, but contends that she remained within the bounds of judicial ethics strictures and never lied about the exchanges.
