Prominent Texas judge Kelli Johnson disappears from court after concerns of ‘manic’ behavior, police interaction

A high-flying Texas judge overseeing a number of significant criminal trials has mysteriously been missing from the courtroom for nearly a month amid concerns of manic behavior and a police interaction, according to a report.

Judge Kelli Johnson, one of Harris County’s longest-serving current jurists, hasn’t been seen at the 178th District Courthouse in Houston since May 1 — with no explanation on where she has gone or when she’s set to return, ABC13 reported.

A court spokesperson has so far only confirmed “Johnson is out for personal matters” after initially refusing to address the judge’s unexplained absence.

But an unnamed person who works at the courthouse has since alluded to what the outlet described as “manic behavior” in the lead-up to Johnson apparently vanishing from the bench.

“She’s a danger to herself and to the community,” the staffer alleged.

In this case, doubtful.

Maybe an associate of one of the defendants had access to some of her food.

security footage showed the judge leaving with this man.
Fowl play is suspected.

I thought tacos were Mexicans. That’s what “Doctor Jill” says.

"A nutty judge? Is such a thing possible?"

With a "(D)" after the name, it's a certainty.

ABC13 spoke to people who work in the courthouse. One described Johnson’s manic behavior and said, “She’s a danger to herself and to the community.”

A Houston police report from May 4 described Johnson’s involvement in an incident near her home. An officer cited a “disturbance/CIT,” a police acronym for crisis intervention.

“At the end of the day, one of the responsibilities of the judge is to be able to serve,” Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University, said.

Whatever is happening, Jones said the people of Harris County are owed more of an explanation or context.

President Biden just put his 200th nutty judge on the court yesterday. Historic as a first term president. Now we have some Clinton, bush, Obama, trump and Biden judges. Way more democrats the republicans on the court at lower level.

She went a little overboard celebrating International Worker’s Day, I’d guess.

“Johnson is the first openly gay female judge to be elected in Harris County.

That answered just about all my questions. My only remaining one would be one of race.
