Local attorneys Hank Hill and Ben McGowan have filed separate complaints against Hamilton County General Sessions Judge Bob Moon with the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary. The complaints allege Moon has violated defendants’ constitutional rights and stepped outside his role as judge and into law enforcement from the bench.One complaint alleges that in 2010 Moon amended a traffic charge charge to a drug possession charge in his court after the defendant failed a drug test, according to documents obtained by the Times Free Press.
The other complaint, filed by local attorney Ben McGowan, alleges that in 2008 Moon jailed two prosecution witnesses during a hearing when he said their testimony revealed the pair had violated terms of their judicial diversion on unrelated shoplifting charges.
Moon said today the complaints are a difference of opinion on law and the alleged actions do not violate judicial ethics.
