LOUISVILLE, Ky. A Jefferson Circuit Court judge was sanctioned for his choice of words in defending another judge accused of rubber-stamping search warrants in the Breonna Taylor case.
The Judicial Conduct Commission said Judge Charles Cunningham in a guest editorial in The Courier Journal violated an ethics rule that requires judges to be “patient, dignified and courteous to lawyers and others with whom the judge deals in an official capacity.”

A member of the Kentucky Attorney General’s search warrant task force was sanctioned this year for publicly defending the search warrant process and the judge who approved the warrant for Breonna Taylor’s home.
Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Charles Cunningham received a private reprimand from the Judicial Conduct Commission in January for comments he made in an op-ed published in The Courier Journal. The reprimand doesn’t name Cunningham, but he confirmed to KyCIR that he is the subject of the disciplinary action.
Cunningham was publicly named last week as a member of the task force the attorney general will charge with scrutinizing and suggesting possible reforms for how search warrants are obtained and executed in Kentucky.
