STORY: "Anderson civil trial postponed: Visiting judge calls for Nov. 8 update," by reporter Brad Stutzman, published by the Statesman on September 28, 2013.
GIST: "Former Williamson County District Court Judge Ken Anderson’s resignation is reportedly part of a mediation process that could, upon completion, allow him to keep his judicial pension – but could also require him to surrender his law license and possibly spend time in county jail. A scheduled Sept. 30 civil trial, pitting Anderson and his attorneys against the State Bar of Texas’ Commission for Lawyer Discipline, has been put on hold because of those negotiations. Although the investigation has been ongoing for almost two years, concerning Anderson’s role in Michael Morton’s 1987 murder conviction, events sped up rapidly this week. • In a letter with Monday’s date on it, Anderson submitted a resignation letter to Gov. Rick Perry. • On Tuesday, Perry accepted Anderson’s resignation as judge of the 277th District Court. • On Wednesday, Kelly Moore – the judge specially appointed to hear the civil trial – notified local officials of the postponement. The civil trial had been set to start Sept. 30 in the county’s 26th District Court. Now, Moore is calling for both sides to meet again in court Nov. 8. That purpose of that hearing is for Moore to receive an update on the status of the mediation."
