According to a WSBTV Atlanta Whistle blower piece, Judge Penny has been accused of shirking her responsibilities during her last year as a Fulton County court judge. Electronic key card records indicate that between January 1, 2008 and her resignation in October she was in the building a total of 627 hours and 39 minutes, an average of only 62 hours a month. Further electronic records show total hours in the building include 33 hours, 47 minutes in March 2008; 31 hours and 7 minutes in July; and 27 hours even for the entire month of December. There were a total 94 work days where there is no electronic evidence Judge Penny ever showed up to the Fulton County State Court. During this time Judge Penny's State salary was $145,966. Judge Penny's response to WSBTV was reported as, "the records may not accurately reflect her comings and goings." |
