If the judge says it was legit and on record w the court reporter, why is he so concerned about anyone discussing it? Was it only going to be an open secret after the trial? That alone would be grounds for an appeal if there is a conviction. The lawyer should avoid any future cases which have that judge presiding.

Last friday the judge said he was going to have a meeting with state and copeland and his lawyer , the meeting was just to establish his plea his lawyer was present as was the court recorder and the clerk it was on the record , his lawyer is also the one snitchin to steele who then twists it all . Hes lying when he said he didnt know there was going to be an ex parte meeting , judge said it last friday .and what copeland said about himself in that meeting is irrelevant hes got an immunity from charges and he had a lawyer in there the court reporter and clerk were also in there so hardly a secret meeting it was on record . Steeles a fool , hes twisted this out of proportion always threatening to drop dead , its pathetic and cringey and not the actions of a professional grown man.

I've sat in a courtroom and when they called it into session the judge, after everyone was seated, stated to counsel that it was making it aware that it had met with opposing counsel and then had the court reporter read into the record what was discussed. The attorney thanked the judge. That was that. This seems to be on a whole other level of what seems like judicial and prosecutorial misconduct.
