JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A judicial review board has launched an inquiry into allegations against a state Supreme Court justice, including claims that he threatened to "whip" the chief justice and intentionally delayed cases as payback before his term on the court ends.
Justice Chuck McRae on Sunday said the complaint was "much ado about nothing" and called it a strong-arm tactic by the five high court justices who made the allegations, including Chief Justice Edwin Pittman.
