Retired Judges to Hear Suspended Chief Justice Roy Moore's Appeal

A panel of retired judges will hear suspended Chief Justice Roy Moore's bid to return to the bench. Alabama Supreme Court justices said Monday that they will recuse themselves from hearing Moore's appeal because their impartiality might be questioned. A judicial panel suspended Moore for the remainder of his term after finding he urged state probate judges to defy the federal courts on gay marriage. Moore denied the accusations, saying he never told probate judges what to do.
