Judge who ordered shock for disruptive ‘sovereign citizen’ banned from hearing cases

A Maryland judge has been banned from hearing cases after he ordered a deputy to shock a “sovereign citizen” in his courtroom.

The state’s court of appeals issued the order Wednesday, after Maryland’s public defender called for the judge’s removal.

“For a judge to inflict physical pain for the sole purpose of silencing an individual is unacceptable,” said public defender Paul DeWolfe. “In a court of law, it is the judge’s responsibility to protect the rights of those involved in the process, not to violate them.”

Nalley ordered Deputy Sheriff Charles Deehan to administer a shock using a device strapped to a defendant’s leg, according to a report by the Baltimore Post Examiner.
