Commission issues public warning to Judge Jack Robison

The State Commission on Judicial Conduct has issued a public warning regarding a district judge who told a jury last year that God had told him the defendant was not guilty.

Judge Jack Robison of the 207th Judicial District practices in Comal and Hays counties. He appeared before the commission on Feb. 6 to give testimony and had submitted written responses to commissioners’ questions before that. 

At issue is his behavior during the trial in New Braunfels of Gloria Romero Perez in January 2018 for continuous sex trafficking of a child. During jury deliberation of guilt or innocence, the commission said, citing numerous witnesses, Robison twice entered the jury room and told jurors a conviction would be a “miscarriage of justice.”
