According to reports, the judge in Usher and Tameka Raymond’s child custody case, Judge Tipton-Lane, along with one other judge is now the focus of an investigation launched by CBS after a noticeable pattern of favorable judgments for campaign contributors was uncovered.
Joanna Shepherd Bailey, a professor for Emory University School of Law, said money does influence judicial outcomes.
Shepherd Bailey conducted an extensive study of more than 21,000 State Supreme Court cases and found a strong correlation between judicial campaign contributions and judges’ decisions.
