Judge allegedly says 'God told me the defendant is not guilty' to jury

"God told me the defendant is not guilty."

Those words were reportedly uttered by a judge in the middle of a criminal trial.

A Texas woman was accused of selling her 16-year-old niece for sex in a trial led by Judge Jack Robison.

Major court moments of 2017:

The judge reportedly told the jury: “When God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it.”

However, the jury found the woman guilty, despite the judge's proclamation.

Robison was reportedly replaced before sentencing, but only after he recused himself from the trial.

Many people across Texas are calling for him to kicked off the bench, the result of which remains to be seen.
