The state's judicial conduct committee is now looking into claims that Rockingham County Superior Judge Patricia Coffey slept during a trial that sent a man to jail for at least 23 years.Judge Coffey disputes the allegation. She has categorically denied ever sleeping in court during her 15 years on the bench.But a poll of jurors by the public defenders office found two who said Coffey did nod off during the June trial. And since then, more people have come forward with claims that Coffey slept during other proceedings. New Hampshire Public Radio's Josh Rogers spoke to watchers of judicial conduct and filed this report.
