The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission on Thursday filed ethics charges against Broward Circuit Judge Dennis Daniel Bailey, alleging he violated five rules of judicial conduct by losing his temper with attorneys in a felony criminal trial in April.

According to the JQC’s complaint, Bailey became frustrated with two defense attorneys while presiding over State v. Genesis Espejo, and inappropriately had one of them physically removed before the jury. The lawyers had attempted to argue the same objection during a sidebar conference, according to the complaint.
