3 strikes with the judge's paddle and you're out of jail
Former judge accused of offering male prisoners lenient sentences in exchange for sex
Herman Thomas on trial in Alabama on charges including sodomy, kidnapping and extortion
"A former judge is to stand trial in a court in Alabama tomorrow charged with having sex with male prisoners in exchange for lenient sentences.
Herman Thomas was the Democratic party's choice to be the first black federal judge in the south of the state before a series of lurid allegations were made against him. His lawyers say the charges are racially and politically motivated.
The charges, which Thomas denies, include sodomy, kidnapping and extortion. Prosecutors say 15 current and former male inmates will give evidence against him".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
