BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Supreme Court removed Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts from the 19th Judicial District Court on Thursday, leaving civil cases and one criminal case awaiting a new judge.
In her removal, the Supreme Court cited concerns that Foxworth-Roberts misled voters and law enforcement.

"This is the 1st time that I've ever seen this happen to a judge removed from the bench in Baton Rouge, but it will not really negatively affect us because she was no longer a criminal court judge," Moore said.
Foxworth-Roberts was moved off the criminal court bench last year, handling mainly civil cases.
Her one criminal case was the death penalt
