LANSING, MI -- At 9:30 a.m. Wednesday the Michigan Supreme Court will listen to arguments related to a potentially career-shattering decision for Wayne County Circuit Judge Wade H. McCree.

If he wins reelction to his judgeship in 2014, the Judicial Tenure Commission is requesting a six-year suspension effective Jan. 1, 2015 when his term begins.

McCree has been suspended without pay since Feb. 3, although his pay is being held in escrow and could be returned pending the Supreme Court ruling.

McCree is accused of having an extramarital affair with

Geniene LaShay Mott, who appeared before him in a child support case against Mott's ex-boyfriend and the father of her child.

After her first appearance in McCree's courtroom, phone numbers were exchanged and the relationship ignited, eventually getting out of hand. On several occasions McCree conferred with Mott about the case and possible punishment to her ex-boyfriend.

"In October 2012, McCree filed a divorce complaint, although he later testified that he did so only to placate Mott and that he never intended to divorce his wife," a Supreme Court summary of the case says. "Mott, who told McCree that she was pregnant, was pressuring McCree to marry her; McCree began urging Mott to get an abortion, telling Mott that his wife insisted on the abortion before going through with the divorce."

When it got too hot,

The Judicial Tenure Commission, after nearly two weeks of testimony beginning in late-May, found that McCree should have recused himself from Mott's case and lied to Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy during her investigation stemming from the affair.

McCree's misconduct trial was chock full of lust, betrayal, plotting and one-liners.

McCree has often made for a good sound bite. He was previously censured for his response to media after a 2010 shirtless picture of the trim judge, which he is said to have sent to a female bailiff, made its way to the news in 2012.

"Hot dog. Yep, that's me," McCree said when WJBK-TV showed him a printout of the photo. "No shame to my game."
