Summary
Major breaking news in the Aaron Spencer case out of Arkansas. Judge Barbara Elmore has been removed from the case by the Arkansas Supreme Court just two days before trial was set to begin. This marks the second time the state's highest court has had to intervene due to her conduct.
Elmore is the same judge who set bond for Michael Fosler — the 67-year-old man facing 43 felony charges including rape of a minor and child pornography. Fosler walked. Three months later, he allegedly took Spencer's daughter again. Spencer killed him. And the case landed right back on Elmore's desk.
She issued an unconstitutional gag order. The Supreme Court struck it down and warned her. She restricted courtroom access anyway. She refused to recuse. The Supreme Court removed her.
Meanwhile, dashcam footage from Fosler's truck — evidence that could prove self-defense — has vanished. The SD card went missing. The lead detective's testimony contradicts how the camera actually functions.
Fourteen Arkansas legislators have now filed a formal complaint with the Judicial Discipline Commission. The trial is on hold. Every ruling Elmore made is under review.
Judge Elmore faces no discipline. She returns to the bench Monday. Aaron Spencer still faces second-degree murder charges for protecting his daughter from a man the system released.
