A northern Kentucky judge has resigned rather than face removal for allegedly profiting from a $200 million settlement involving the diet drug fen-phen, a state judicial panel said Monday.
Judge Joseph F. Bamberger was publicly reprimanded Monday by the state's Judicial Conduct Commission, which said his actions "shock the conscience."
Bamberger, who resigned Friday, was a senior status special judge, a retired jurist who could be assigned to certain cases.
