Update:Controversial Rutherford County judge to retire in September

[Jilly_in_VA]

The judge at the center of controversy in Rutherford County will be calling it quits before the end of 2022.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport announced Tuesday she will retire at the end of her elected term in September and not seek reelection. Judge Davenport had previously announced intentions to run for her seat again in 2022.

She was appointed to the Rutherford County Juvenile Court in 1999 as referee and then elected as judge in 2000. She was reelected in 2006 and 2014 for eight-year terms.

Judge Davenport’s retirement comes as Tennessee lawmakers are calling for her impeachment. Just this week, a group of lawmakers, led by Democrats, came forward saying impeaching her is necessary to protect the children in Rutherford County.

2. Mostly black kids

Some poor white kids too, though. She's just a MAGAbilly hag, I don't care what her party tag is.

3. Thanks for your OP. I live in TN, but often get too caught up in national news.

I still would rather see her be impeached, rather than just have her bow out.
