“It’s the worst professional day of my life and no, I didn’t deserve it,” Baldwin said.

Baldwin’s actions cost the prosecution part of its case, the board said, but she denies the accusation.

“I’m a strong believer in the rule of law. I did what the courts said I had to do,” she said.

Baldwin claims she has proof she was targeted with court documents spelling out racial comments other officials made about her. The administrative office of courts denied the allegations.
