*Oh shoot. Karma has come right back around and could be biting Usher in the butt.
Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane, who gave the singer full custody of his two sons following an extremely nasty and public divorce from Tameka Raymond, is now under investigation.
In 2008, John Mayoue, Usher’s attorney in the case, donated at least $1,000 toward Judge Lane’s campaign and hosted the only fundraising event that same year.
Attorney Lisa West, who was the lead attorney for Tameka, asked the judge to recuse herself from the case. She didn’t and so West later followed up by appealing the judge’s ruling.
CBS Atlanta had the chance to interview Judge Lane and she denied ruling in favor of Usher due to the contributions she received. But she didn’t deny that she failed to disclose to the court her relationship with Mayoue during the case.
The judge should have excused herself from the case. Not a good look!
Good.
About time.
Hopefully justice delayed, but not denied.
It really does not matter.Usher should keep the kids.It’s about money and exposure for Tameka.
I heard her shop is not doing to well.
A couple of other women were on the news complaining about her handling of their cases as well!
It does not look good for the judge. She did not recuse herself until Tameka’s attorney subpoenaed the judge’s deceased sister’s computer.
I guess there is some embarrassing stuff on the hard drive.
It’s a sad state of affairs when hiring a lawyer that knows the law is not enough. It appears that hiring a lawyer that is funding the Judges election campagin is what’s matters in Lanes’ courtroom.
