A juvenile and domestic relations judge in southwest Virginia<\/a> was removed from the bench Monday by the Virginia Supreme Court<\/a>, effective immediately, after he admitted contacting two key witnesses in a pending federal corruption case against his wife.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kurt J. Pomrenke<\/a>, 64, was elected to the bench in 2013 to oversee juvenile and domestic court cases in Washington and Smyth counties and Bristol City<\/a> along the Virginia-Tennessee<\/a> border.\u00a0He is only the second Virginia judge in the past 23 years to be removed by the state Supreme Court, court records show, with the other being a juvenile and domestic judge who resolved some visitation issues with a coin flip.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pomrenke also has been found guilty of contempt of court by a federal judge in Bristol in connection with his wife\u2019s case and is scheduled to be sentenced in that matter Thursday. His wife, Stacey Pomrenke<\/a>, a former chief financial officer of Bristol Virginia Utilities<\/a>, is serving a 34-month prison sentence on multiple charges of conspiracy, extortion and wire fraud, as well as contempt of court, in part for her husband\u2019s contact with potential witnesses in the case.<\/p>\n

Kurt Pomrenke, in a hearing before the state Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission<\/a>, which handles complaints against judges, conceded that his actions were wrong and violated the state Canons of Judicial Conduct<\/a>. The canons require judges to \u201cuphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary\u201d and to \u201cavoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge\u2019s activities.\u201d Pomrenke suggested that he only be censured, but the Supreme Court thought his actions were \u201cparticularly damaging to the integrity of the judicial process and the confidence of the citizens of the Commonwealth<\/a> that a sitting judge in the Commonwealth<\/a> would attempt to improperly influence two potential witnesses in his wife\u2019s federal criminal trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pomrenke did not respond to a request for comment. His lawyer, John E. Lichtenstein<\/a>, said in a statement that Pomrenke was \u201cdisappointed but respects the action of the Supreme Court of Virginia\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will assess his position, but his focus now is on the needs of his family,\u201dLichtenstein said in the statement. \u201cHe is, and will always be, deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court<\/a> in the 28th Judicial District.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pomrenke\u2019s downfall began with the 2015 indictment of his wife on 15 corruption-related counts. She had been the chief financial officer of the city\u2019s electric, water and sewer utility since 2003, and prosecutors alleged she pressured BVU\u2019s vendors for tickets to ballgames and auto races, money to pay for BVU employee parties, awarded bonuses to BVU employees without reporting them for tax purposes, and other executive chicanery. Her husband, a judge and former BVU board member, was granted access to pre-trial discovery in the case over the government\u2019s objection.<\/p>\n

Three weeks after his wife\u2019s indictment, Pomrenke sent a handwritten note to her boss, the BVU chief executive officer Donald L. Bowman<\/a>, with his business card included in a \u201cThank You\u201d envelope. \u201cI just wanted to sincerely thank you for your kindness and understanding support for Stacey during these horrible times,\u201d Kurt Pomrenke wrote. \u201cIt is horrible what our government is doing to her. She will be proven innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman is a lawyer and had been cooperating with the widely publicized investigation into corruption at BVU, and had made his cooperation known in the news media, the Supreme Court noted. He was shocked to receive the note from Pomrenke, and drove directly to the U.S. attorney\u2019s office in Abingdon<\/a>, Va., to show it to them. This note, and an email that Stacey Pomrenke sent to five friends asking for their support, caused prosecutors to try to revoke her bond, which the judge denied. Instead,\u00a0U.S. District Judge James P. Jones<\/a> charged her with contempt of court for attempted witness tampering. He later found her guilty of this, and added two months to her 32-month corruption sentence in August 2016.<\/p>\n

Next, on the eve of his wife\u2019s\u00a0trial in February 2016, then-Judge Pomrenke left a voicemail for a BVU employee expected to testify during the trial. \u201cHey Connie, this is Kurt,\u201d the judge said, according to the Supreme Court. \u201cUm, when you\u2019re testifying in that trial there might be a couple of things that you could do that would really help Stacey. If you could kinda slip in when you have a chance just little remarks like how Stacey did a great job, or Stacey was the one that took care of the employees\u2026just something like that even though it\u2019s not directly in response to the questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

That didn\u2019t sit too well with Judge Jones.<\/p>\n

Bowman didn\u2019t end up testifying in the trial but the employee, Connie Moffatt, did. The jury convicted Stacey Pomrenke on 14 of 15 charges, and three days later the judge directed the government to prosecute her for contempt of court, based on both her email and her husband\u2019s contacts with Bowman and Moffatt.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a complaint was filed with the judicial review commission against Kurt Pomrenke. The judge responded with a three-page letter to the commission explaining his actions, claiming he and his wife \u201chad no idea of Bowman\u2019s close continuing relationship with the prosecutors.\u201d He then attached an email written by Bowman which he said was received in his wife\u2019s pretrial discovery, even though he had been ordered not to disclose any of that material to anyone.<\/p>\n

This caused federal prosecutors to file a motion in July of this year asking for\u00a0Pomrenke to be held in contempt of court for disclosing the discovery materials. Judge Jones convicted him in September of willfully violating the order not to disclose. \u201cAs a lawyer and judge,\u201d Jones said, according to Virginia Lawyer\u2019s Weekly<\/a>, \u201cJudge Pomrenke had the maturity, knowledge and legal experience to understand the necessity to obey court orders.\u201d He faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 at sentencing Thursday, though jail seems unlikely.<\/p>\n

The state Supreme Court then took up a finding from the judicial review commission that Pomrenke had violated the judicial canons, and had admitted it. \u201cWe cannot escape the conclusion,\u201d wrote Chief Justice Donald W. Lemons<\/a>, \u201cthat having a sitting judge who apparently attempted to manipulate trial testimony would tend to impair public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of not only that judge, but also that of all the other members of the judiciary, and our entire system of justice\u2026We conclude that Judge Pomrenke\u2019s actions are of sufficient gravity to warrant removal.\u201d<\/p>\n

L. Steven Emmert<\/a>, an appellate lawyer who writes about Virginia\u2019s appeals courts, said, \u201cThe word that comes to mind is unthinkable. It\u2019s something that any judge with a good sense of propriety should know is wrong.\u201d Emmert felt that \u201cif the only issue had been the note to the boss [Bowman], the Supreme Court might have let him off.\u201d But the voicemail to the woman who actually did testify was too much, Emmert said.<\/p>\n

Pomrenke\u2019s removal leaves only two judges to hear all of the juvenile and domestic cases in two counties and Bristol City, and cases he was currently hearing would be distributed to them. Emmert said the circuit court could appoint a temporary successor, who could either be replaced or elected by the General Assembly<\/a> next year, or they could leave the spot open until the General Assembly elects a successor, who probably wouldn\u2019t take the bench until the spring of next year at the earliest.<\/p>\n
