YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Las Vegas judge, who ran for office with the support of the Democratic Socialists of America, is under fire for her social media posts, where she complained about working early following a Billie Eilish concern — and posed for a photo alongside two public defenders in a hot tub.

Clark County District Court Judge Erika Ballou was handed a formal statement of charges by the Nevada Commission of Judicial Discipline for two separate social media posts that jeopardized the public’s confidence in her judicial judgment as part of an ethics violation probe.

Ballou, who was sworn in on January 4, 2021, faces two counts of violating the “Revised Nevada Code of Judicial Conduct,” according to the formal charges viewed by The Post.

The judge had attended the “Life is Beautiful” music festival on September 19, 2021 and made an “inappropriate statement about her judicial duties on social media,” at 10:46 p.m., according to the formal charges viewed by The Post.
