Text: ¶ 41. The Commission recommends that Sutton be publicly reprimanded and assessed costs in the amount of $1,900.89 After considering the Gibson factors, we find that the Commission's recommendation is both appropriate for Sutton's misconduct and consistent with other similar cases. Accordingly, this Court adopts the Commission's recommendation that Sutton be publicly reprimanded and assessed costs in the amount of $1,900.89. We order that this public reprimand shall be read in open court, when the venire panel meets, on the first day of the next term of the Circuit Court of Hinds County, with Judge Sutton present. ¶ 42. JUDGE FRANK L. SUTTON, SR., JUSTICE COURT JUDGE FOR HINDS COUNTY, DISTRICT THREE, SHALL BE PUBLICLY REPRIMANDED IN OPEN COURT WHEN THE VENIRE PANEL MEETS BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE HINDS COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEXT TERM OF THAT COURT AFTER THIS DECISION BECOMES FINAL AND IS ASSESSED COSTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,900.89.
