A Texas district court judge received a public warning after he told the jury to keep deliberating over a defendant they convicted because God told him she was innocent.

Comal County Judge Jack Robison reported himself to the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct after the outburst on Jan. 12, 2018, according to the committee's disciplinary document.

Robison presided over the trial of Gloria Romero Perez, who was charged with continuous sex trafficking and the sale or purchase of a child.

When Robison was informed the jury reached a guilty verdict, he told them her conviction would be a miscarriage of justice and asked them to keep deliberating.

1. Is this the type of judge the GOP is packing courts with?

6. I suppose he has no recording of such conversation with God

….you know, for that thing called PROOF!

7. This opening article would be unbelievable, if not for recent news of Trump appointing MANY judges

There is proof of the Separation of Church and State in the US Constitution. Apparently, that idiotic judge doesn't believe in Constitutional court proceedings. It looks like he is inviting the case to an appeals court.

8. If he claims that god said this to him, wouldn't that make it hearsay?

And not admissible?

Unless they can put god on the stand, under oath, I don't think that testimony can be used.

Though it would be funny to hear "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me, me"

9. Their god has horns

I wouldn't trust him if he WAS under oath.
