WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 26, 2021--
This weekend, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware (CPBD) launched a canvassing campaign to reach thousands of Delawareans as they directly engage with and educate citizens on the lack of diversity on Delaware’s highest courts and shed light on the opaque judicial nomination process.
This campaign kicks off as Governor Carney is set to make a critical judicial appointment to replace the outgoing Chancery Court Chancellor Andre G. Bouchard when he retires at the end of April. CPBD, Reverend Al Sharpton, civic leaders and citizens are calling for Gov. Carney to appoint an African American judge to replace Bouchard and restore diversity to the Chancery Court.

The Day - Judge Spellman's DUI arrest won't impact his $113,000-a-year pension - News from southeastern Connecticut

After Judge Steven Spellman's arrest last week on a charge of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, his brother, Groton City police Chief Michael Spellman, told The Day that the judge would face "consequences for his actions."
Indeed, the Noank judge's prominence led to a much-read news story in which police relayed reports of Spellman appearing intoxicated, stumbling outside a grocery store at 6:15 p.m., before getting behind the wheel of a car.
The shame of that is certainly consequential.
I appreciate that the judge promptly apologized and suggested he is getting help for his problem. I am sure we all wish him well with that.
