A former court reporter sued Judge Sally Montgomery this week, claiming that Montgomery wrongfully fired her from her seven-year job at County Court at Law No. 3. Lawyers for Cayce Coskey claim that Montgomery, rated in February by the Texas Observer as the second-worst judge in Texas, fired Coskey on June 19 after she questioned whether Montgomery withheld information from the defense counsel in a wrongful death suit against Atlanta-based building materials manufacturer Georgia-Pacific Corp. After his testimony, one of the plaintiffs, Harold Bostic, collapsed in front of the jury and later died. Not told of Bostic's death, jurors asked a bailiff how Bostic was doing the following week. The jury's concerns eventually were made known to Montgomery--though how that happened is disputed--and Coskey alleges that Montgomery instructed her not to tell Georgia-Pacific of the jury's inquiries.
