ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ A judicial review panel is recommending a four-month suspension for a Brevard County judge who was captured on video berating and threatening to assault a public defender.
The public defender says the judge also punched him the face twice in a hallway out of public view.
The six-member Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission found Brevard County Judge John C. Murphy guilty of violating various judicial canons.
