Georgia’s judicial watchdog agency on Thursday recommended that a superior court judge accused of stealing funds from a county court registry be removed from the bench.

The Judicial Qualifications Commission’s three-person hearing panel unanimously recommended the removal of Robert “Mack” Crawford—a superior court judge in the state’s Griffin Circuit south of Atlanta. The panel in March held a two-day hearing over whether Crawford violated the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct. The Georgia  Supreme Court will make the final decision on the JQC recommendation.
