A special court of review has found that 1st Court of Appeals Justice James Patrick “Jim” Sharp deserved the public reprimand issued to him on Aug. 30, 2012, by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for trying to “intimidate” Brazoria County employees into releasing an acquaintance’s daughter from juvenile custody.

The March 13 opinion also rejected Sharp’s request that he receive a lesser sanction because he has been diagnosed with adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
