Judges are not immune from criminal prosecution for crimes committed while acting in their official capacity, as judicial immunity generally shields them only from civil liability, not criminal acts. While they have broad immunity for “judicial acts” within their jurisdiction, this does not cover criminal conduct such as bribery, fraud, or actions taken in clear absence of all jurisdiction.

I practiced law in Michigan for 50 years and presently living in South Carolina for 10 years. Our judges and justices are charged with administering justice in affair and honest manner. If they sway from these precepts, then we will lose the confidence in our justice system. this can lead to anarchy violence and another nefarious characteristics. Hopefully our judicial tenure commission in this state will be a watchdog to prevent any sway from those precepts impact accordingly.
