A Texas judge allegedly interrupted a deliberating jury to claim that God told him the defendant is not guilty.

Judge Jack Robison reportedly told jurors on Friday in a state district court in Comal County in Texas that Gloria Romero-Perez was not guilty of trafficking her 16-year-old niece for sex.

According to the Herald-Zeitung, Judge Robison apologized to jurors for the interruption, but defended his actions by declaring: 'When God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it.'

Despite Robison's outburst, the jury found 32-year-old Romano-Perez guilty of continuous trafficking of a person and sentenced her to 25 years in prison.

The Herald-Zeitung reported that Robison recused himself before the trial’s sentencing phase and was replaced by Judge Gary Steele.

Defense attorney Sylvia Cavazos said Friday she would attempt to seek a retrial, but her request was denied.

According to The Statesman, Judge Robison was disciplined by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct in 2011 for jailing a grandfather who called him a fool over his ruling in a child custody case.

The commission decided that Judge Robison failed to give the man advance notice of his ruling and was unfair in how he had the man thrown in jail.

Controversy has been sparked by the across Texas with many calling for the judge to be kicked off the bench.

Others are outraged that he chose to spoke up during the trial of a child sex trafficking suspect.
