U.S. District Chief Judge Mark E. Walker in the Northern District of Florida recused himself from a case that challenged part of an amendment giving voting rights to convicted felons.
He did it because one of the defense attorneys works at Holland & Knight, a Big Law firm where Walker’s wife, Karen D. Walker, is executive partner in the Tallahassee office.
