A judge who allegedly made racist remarks during a meeting with an Arab American lawyer and two prosecutors is now accused of improperly contacting the prosecutors afterwards in an apparent attempt at “witness interference and tampering.”
Fakhoury made the new allegations in a supplemental filing Thursday, saying the judge improperly called the prosecutors who were in the room during the January meeting to discuss their recollections of it.
Hooks followed up the call with a text message to one of the prosecutors, writing that she should “please give me a call” and adding that the matter was “fairly important.” Hooks then apparently referred to a news article about Fakhoury’s motion for a new judge. “Judge Hooks said he was intrigued by the timing of the article because he had ‘something favorable’ coming his way,” according to the filing.
