A Detroit judge who faced temporary removal from his duties following a controversial incident involving a teenager has returned to the bench. Judge Kenneth King, who was relieved of courtroom duties in August, has been assigned to handle speeding tickets and other minor offenses at the 36th District Court.
The chief judge at the court, Judge William McConico, stated that Judge King has undergone social-emotional training in preparation for his new role. While King previously handled major felony hearings, he is now working in the court's traffic division.
