Flashback: When Wayne Dolcefino Confronted Judge Darrell Jordan
The judge has now been indicted for this confrontation.
Harris County (TX) Judge Darrell Jordan has been indicted for official oppression.
The indictment stems from a confrontation between he and Wayne Dolcefino in 2020.
Dolcefino was a long time investigative journalist in Houston before starting his own company.
In June 2020, he visited Judge Jordan’s courtroom to confront him about investigations which had been stalled that Judge Jordan was supposed to be overseeing.
The confrontation escalated quickly and Judge Jordan charged Dolcefino with contempt of court; Judge Jordan convicted Dolcefino in a show trial soon after.
What Judge Jordan did not know was that Dolcefino had secretly recorded the confrontation.

As such, I release it here.
