Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane, who gave singer Usher full custody of his two sonsafter a nasty and public divorce from Tameka Raymond, is now under investigation.
In 2008, Usher’s attorney John Mayoue donated $1,000 toward Judge Lane’s campaign as well as hosted the only fundraising event that same year.
Tameka’s Attorney Lisa West, asked the judge to recuse herself from the case. She didn’t so West appealed the judge’s ruling.
CBS Atlanta had the chance to interview Judge Lane about her ruling in favor of Usher due to the contributions she received which she denied. However, she did not deny failing to disclose to the court her relationship with Mayoue (Usher’s Atty) during the case.
