Updated 9:21 p.m., Sunday, October 28, 2012 GALVESTON - A Galveston County district judge screamed at a pregnant woman appearing in his court on a drug charge, swearing and telling her she was worthless before tearing up papers, throwing them in the air and stalking from the courtroom, according to the woman's attorney. The Galveston County drug court had obtained Cox's agreement to move Aguilar from the Montgomery County Jail to a drug rehabilitation center until she gave birth, allowing her mother to accompany her for medical treatment when necessary, Clements said. Probation Department Director Janis Bane said the District Attorney's Office approved the agreement. At the hearing, Cox became agitated when he discovered that Aguilar had missed several meetings with her probation officer, according to the recusal motion. Fulk said Cox erupted in anger when he and and an assistant district attorney presented a plea agreement in a similar case.
