"Judge charged in name case" by Travis Loller | Associated Press, October 26, 2013
NASHVILLE — An East Tennessee magistrate who ordered a baby’s name changed from Messiah to Martin has been charged with violating the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct.
Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew ordered the name change at a paternity hearing in Newport on Aug. 8.
At the time, the parents were disputing the 8-month-old baby’s surname.
The mother, Jaleesa Martin, hoped to keep the name she had given the boy— Messiah Deshawn Martin — and the father, Jawaan McCullough, wanted the baby to bear his last name.
