Judicial Misconduct

Research an instance of “judicial misconduct” (other than the following: Judges Harry Claiborne, Robert Aguilar, Walter Nixon, Robert Collins, Alcee Hastings, Brian Duff, Edward Nottingham, Samuel Kent, Manuel Real, Thomas Porteous, Richard Cebull, Alex Kozinski) and take a look the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct. What happened in the instance you researched?

Do you agree that it was misconduct? Do you agree with the consequences? What, if anything can you think of that might have prevented or corrected what occurred?
