When Judges Retaliate: The Pattern of Abuse in Arizona’s Family Courts
There is a newly released exposé titled Judicial Immunity Revoked—By Her Own Hand: The Collapse of Charlene Jackson’s Credibility, which documents extensive judicial misconduct by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Charlene Jackson. The exposé centers on the case of Erin Gerlach, a protective mother who was criminalized for choosing safety over silence—and whose fight for her daughter has exposed systemic abuse within Arizona’s family court system. Notably, this is the Judge's who is responsible for the formation of the Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Family Court Orders in Arizona.
This is not an isolated incident. It’s a documented pattern of retaliation, perjury, and abuse of judicial authority, including:
A restraining order filed by Judge Jackson against a protective mother that contradicts her own rulings and exposes ethical violations
Evidence of record tampering, jurisdictional overreach, and rulings issued while divested of authority
Victim rights forms, police reports, and charging documents from Arizona and California confirming child abuse and domestic violence
A public petition with over 2,400 signatures demanding Jackson’s removal
A formal letter of concern from State Representative Rachel Keshel
Jackson’s own sworn statements that violate judicial ethics, implicate her in misconduct and potential criminal conduct
Erin Gerlach is currently facing felony charges for custodial interference after fleeing the state to protect her daughter from a SWAT officer with a documented history of domestic violence—a man the court continued to empower. Judge Jackson’s rulings enabled that officer, suppressed critical evidence, and retaliated against Gerlach for filing complaints and speaking out.
This exposé includes court filings, affidavits, and public records. It also documents Jackson’s attempts to silence dissent through sealed retaliation and weaponized restraining orders—actions that have triggered legislative concern and public outrage.
