As the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission continues to review allegations of misconduct filed in April against Pike Circuit Judge Steven Combs, the judge appeared at a hearing in Lexington this morning.  Combs came under the commission’s scrutiny following complaints that he had inappropriate communications with state and local officials and failed to recuse himself from a handful of cases in which he had an interest. During today’s hearing, commissioners heard further details of those allegations. They also heard from witnesses who came out to support Combs, and they heard from the judge himself. EKB News Reporter Shannon Deskins was the only television reporter at that hearing. She brings us this exclusive report.
