Duval Circuit Judge Mark Hulsey III has made some racially insensitive comments regarding and to the staff attorneys saying “get back on a ship and go back to Africa.” At some point in the past, he even used some unspeakable words describe female attorneys calling the bitches and cunts. He also said they were like cheerleaders talking during the national anthem performance.

After several complaints about his conduct, he decided to give up his judgeship before getting the boot. His formal resignation letter stated that he resigns his position and that it was his honor to serve the people of Florida.

There is also a formal complaint issued about Hulsey which states that he even tried to influence his judicial assistant regarding what to say in front of the JQC during the investigation, so JQC took the matters into their own hands and according to their report Hulsey’s judicial assistant is temporarily resigned in order to prevent any further and possible interference in the matter at hand.

As every other story, good or bad, unfolds, he has reached 18 different violations of the Judicial Ethnics Canons and a violation of the state election law where he is claimed to have received endorsements without any writings issued. However, Hulsey disputed these accusations.

These charges were filed to court last July but somehow Hulsey managed to win the reelections for a six year term despite all the controversy.
