This is why so many judicial experts recommend that State-level judges at the district court and higher should be appointed, not elected. We can look at the people in State legislatures and extrapolate that citizens aren't always the best judge of character (no pun intended).She sounds like a sociopathic nutcase. Who apparently is banging the Bailiff?
Just a reminder: Oklahoma also had a judge who used a penis pump while sitting on the bench. His court reporter testified that she heard the "pump pump pump shhhhhh" noise even during the murder trial of a murdered toddler.
Ex-judge’s trial brings lurid charges to court
A former Oklahoma judge, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom. Perhaps not surprisingly, serving on the jury in a conservative town has been a giggle-inducing experience.
...Former Judge Donald D. Thompson, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom while sitting in judgment of others...
Thompson, 59, is charged with four counts of indecent exposure, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison. If convicted, he would also have to register as a sex offender, and his $7,489.91-a-month pension would be in jeopardy.
What’s that sound?
Thompson’s former court reporter, Lisa Foster, wiped away tears as she described tracing an unfamiliar “sh-sh” in the courtroom to her boss. She testified that between 2001 and 2003 she saw Thompson expose himself at least 15 times.
“I was really shocked and I was kind of scared because it was so bizarre,” Foster said.
She testified that during a trial in 2002, she heard the pump during the emotional testimony of a murdered toddler’s grandfather.
The grandfather “was getting real teary-eyed, and the judge was up there pumping on that pump,” she said. “It was sickening.”
The allegations came to light after a police officer who was in Thompson’s court heard pumping sounds and took photos of the device during a break in the proceedings.
Also: none of these judges were drag queens.
