Censured San Diego judge denies 'racist and insensitive comments' alleged by public defender chiefs

SAN DIEGO — A recently censured San Diego Superior Court judge who was accused earlier this month of making "racist and insensitive comments" both in his courtroom and in a private meeting with two chief public defenders has denied those allegations, writing in a court filing that some of his comments were taken out of context and others were simply not true.

The denials were part of a filing in which Judge Howard Shore declined to recuse himself from hearing a motion in a homicide case.
