A judge in Philadelphia has become the target of several complaints filed by lawyers and witnesses after he refused to wear a face mask during trials.

Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge James Murray Lynn has refused to wear a face covering and ordered other people in the courtroom to remove their face coverings, according to written complaints obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer. The paper reported Tuesday that Alan Tauber, first assistant at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, wrote to Margaret Murphy, the administrative judge who oversees Lynn in the Family Division, and alerted her that Lynn’s refusal to wear a mask put others at risk.
