Judge uses penis pump during trials. Are you kidding me?
He is accused of using the pump during two murder trials and a civil case in 2003. Jurors claim they heard what sounded like a bicycle pump or blood-pressure pump.
One saw Thompson making some movement “with his upper body and arms”, according to documents filed by the state attorney-general in Oklahoma.
So who gets a new trial? Can you see it? “Well I was convicted of murder one, but I’m arguing that the judge didn’t pay the right kind of attention to the evidence presented to him….”
They’ve delayed hearing the trial of the former judge because of problems with jury selection and a judge who disqualified himself from the case. Couldn’t stop laughing? It’s one of those stories that both horrifies and amuses me. Pathological… and yet funny.
Can they still call it indecent exposure when it’s under the bench and no-one can see? Shouldn’t there be some new kind of law like “serious breach of gravitas”? What a jerk lot of problems this man must have.
That reminds me of the case a couple of years ago where the French judge was caught buffing the muffin in court:

It must be a pretty stressful job, to be a judge. I hope his, uh, legal briefs weren’t full of holes or anything. It would certainly leave a stain on the judiciary, sticky situation that it is.
Okay, I’m done now.
“The head judge of the city’s appeals court said ‘a penal inquiry ordered by the prosecutor of the republic is currently being carried out by the police’.”
I hope that to avoid prosecution, the judge doesn’t try to curry favor with law enforcement by handling the Policeman’s Balls.
I guess we’ll just have to see if he can stand behind his convictions.
