A Pennsylvania judge accused of making racist comments(R)

Tranquilli was temporarily reassigned to summary appeals on Tuesday following an interview of the judge by court administration staff. He will be forbidden from hearing any case and will be restricted to 'administrative duties only, effective immediately.'

'We understand too that Judge Tranquilli had earned a reputation for being 'tough on crime and defendants,'" they said. 'We can't help but wonder if his "toughness" was in actuality a series of racially based rulings, which may have led to some African Americans being sentenced inappropriately and unfairly, and possibly negatively affecting their lives, maybe in some cases for a number of years!'
