A North Georgia judge resigned Wednesday in the wake of an investigation over complaints he used a racial slur in open court. Superior Court Judge Roger Bradley of the Appalachian Judicial Circuit informed Gov. Nathan Deal he would step down on Jan. 31. The judge came under investigation by the state’s judicial watchdog agency for using the “n-word” during a court hearing last March. When asked Wednesday if his resignation had anything to do with the Judicial Qualifications Commission investigation into his use of the racial slur, Bradley did not address it. “This decision came in anticipation of me retiring,” Bradley said. “The planets have lined up. … My family has been urging me to retire so I can travel, as I love to do, while I am still healthy.” Continued at legal.blog.ajc.com/2016/01/20/judge-investigated-for-using-racial-slur-resigns/ .
