One sent a message over Facebook to a criminal defendant, saying he’d give her behind-the-scenes advice on her case.

Another inappropriately touched a prosecutor and investigator after they sat in his lap posing for a photo.

These were not defendants. All three were chief judges in their circuits with decades on the bench.
