“Ex-Murray County Chief Magistrate Judge Bryant Cochran allegedly attempted to have local woman Angela Garmley framed on bogus drug charges after she accused him of seeking sexual favors in return for helping her in a pending court case. Two Murray County sheriff’s deputies have already pleaded guilty to participating in the frame job, which consisted of a handyman employed by the judge hiding methamphetamine on Garmley’s vehicle and her subsequent arrest by a deputy alerted to be on the lookout for her vehicle by a sheriff’s captain who just happened to be the judge’s cousin. Today, the handyman, Clifford ‘CJ’ Joyce, pleaded guilty to his role.”
