LANSING, MI –
Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Weaver says she recorded her fellow justices in 2006 while discussing cases with them.
Weaver made the surprising disclosure on a website as she escalated her feud with Justice Robert Young Jr., who is seeking re-election.
Weaver provided a transcript of a May 2006 court conference to ww.delayedjustice.com.
She says she was countering Young's explanation of how he used the N-word. He acknowledged last week that he used the racial slur in 2006 during a heated discussion about a case. Young is black.
Young says he believes Weaver participated in the conference by phone and may have broken Michigan law by recording conversations without consent. A message seeking comment was left for Weaver Tuesday. She quit the court in August.
