That’s what keeps going through my head.  Either others knew and turned a blind eye, or we have some of the dumbest people in the world working within our judicial system.

Gosh, why would people care?  It’s only one of the most shocking displays of abuse of power in the history of the American judicial system.  It reveals multiple layers of either outright corruption or extreme apathy inside Mobile County’s justice system.

Then again, it is just thugs who were abused though, right?  Maybe it’d be more interesting for you if Herman had sexually abused them with a taser.

Some people read crime novels.  Some people watch Court TV.  Some people follow important trials that take place in the city in which they live.  That’s why every news agency in the city has someone sitting in that courtroom all day long.

Quit trying to make something strange out of it and find someone else to stalk.

Barf! It is weird reading through these posts…I don’t “get” the fascination with all this….But hey,different strokes for different folks….oh, yeah-that would be the problem,right?lol

Fourth accuser on the stand.  Only TEN more to go!  Is the prosecution using a chronological order, or building the extent of the crime up to a climax?

Hmmmmm….... climax might not be the right word to use on this one….

Redirect: Thomas used community

- Dixon testifies Thomas brought alleged victims to the community corrections office personally.

All these guys are saying that they witnessed him doing things that were inappropriate and well outside normal judge behavior.

Why didn’t anyone do anything?  That’s the million dollar question.  Unless the scandel is deeper than we can see right now, all I can guess is that they were so sure he was devoted to helping young men straighten up their lives that they just deferred to his judgment and didn’t question anything he did.

It is sounding bad.  Why didn’t any of these people try to do something about it?

Has Clark put on much of a defense at all?  It doesn’t come across that way in the writing.  He hounded Graddick a little, but I didn’t even see how that did his case that much good.

This is just sounding worse and worse for Herman.

- Dixon testifies bogus case numbers were created for some of the alleged victims to put them on “courtesy supervision,” which kept them on probation even when they should have been finished with it.

- Dixon also testified he supervised another one of Thomas’ alleged victims who is mentally retarded.
