I'm not justifying his acts, just pointing to the limits of our justice system. DP ___________________ An open mind, requires an open heart. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 837352 United States 11/04/2011 12:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They viewed this offense as a misdemeanor. The statute of limitations is up unless they enhance the charge to a felony which they won't because they only considered it a misdemeanor in the first place. They didn't even call for a grand jury investigation. To some this would be considered felony assault. He walked.. |

Support your Judge for reelection! |

Lisa~Bee User ID: 1519717 United States 11/04/2011 12:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | its TEXAS people... a lot of people in texas dont see any wrong in this at all... not sayin all texans...but i lived in Rockport for a while and the state of texas is like living in another country.. they do things their own way there.. rockport is a quaint little town sitting right on the coast. its like florida without all the tourists the city is known for its corruption just like most smaller towns across america he may be harrassed, but even though i have seen his picture..if i passed him in a store i probably wouldnt recognize him. he said she did this because he was THREATENING to take away her money and mercedes....so that should mean that she wouldnt post the video.. and how much money is this judge making in such a small town that he can afford a damn mercedes for his kid?? I am.. therefore I think |

They better start building some more prisons stat. Heinous and uncalled for yes but felony, not so sure. I'd say a lot of children would be in foster homes if this was prosecuted on a regular basis. Being forced to resign his bench. And anger management might be more appropriate. Just my 2cents worth. The timing of the release of the video seems very suspect too. Just for the record I always vote against retaining all judges. |

That bastard needs a beating himself. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 429862 Proof that we should abolish this whole "government" concept entirely. Psychopaths will always rise to positions of power.

Someone should meet this guy in a dark alley and see how tough he really is send the video to his daughter. Lets see how much of a man he is when challenged bye a grown ass man. Id pay money to see him get his balls beaten to a pulp. This is not a man this is a "girl bully" the lowliest of all bullies. What a discrace. If this is how Texans handle their children no wonder GWB is so screwed up. Quoting: Toughguy 1171701 |
