A Detroit judge who was temporarily removed after ordering a teenager into jail clothes and handcuffs during a field trip is back on the bench but assigned to speeding tickets and other relatively minor offenses.

A Detroit judge's job is on the line as the Judicial Tenure Commission is recommending she be removed over a litany of alleged misconduct.

Michigan’s largest district court and bail reform advocates have settled a class-action lawsuit against bail practices in Detroit, where hundreds of defendants are jailed for no other reason than their inability to afford court-imposed bail.

The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said there have been three people in the office that tested positive for COVID-19, they were not in courtrooms and they have been quarantined. Jury trials just resumed at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, but this week brought mass courtroom confusion. One attorney writing the presiding judge about trials put on hold: “I understand jury trials have been suspended for the time being (or that’s the talk around FMHJ).”The presiding judge responded: "Yes, jury trials have been halted due to an increase in COVID cases and positive case in the WCPO.”The first case to be put on hold was Trevaun Pearson. Pearson doesn’t have the $200,000 bond and has to wait inside the Wayne County Jail. McConico said the court has not conducted any jury trials since March, and no summons were sent this month.
