Kirksey said the AG's office allowed four grand juries to come and go before presenting the case.

Madison County Supervisor Karl Banks said last month the slowness was costing taxpayers as Weisenberger is still being paid his annual salary of $45,700, though he voluntarily stepped down from the bench.

A judge may only be forced to step down if he or she has been convicted of a felony or if the Supreme Court removes the judge.
