Defense attorney Jeff Dean and Bob Clark… can you say conflicts….


What ever happened to attorney client priviledge..

One day they defend you the next day they cross examine you..

Clark and Dean are scumm

We have come to a sad day in time.  Reading the headlines it is so sad.  When I was growing up you were taught to respect people in public offices, school teachers, preachers, policemen etc.  Now our children have no role models to look up to for guidance in life.  It seems that everyday is becoming more stressful for people who try to live decent themselves and teach their children.  I feel that when individuals are in a position as judge Thomas was the expectations of his behavior should be much higher and if he is proven guilty he deserves whatever punishment that is possible by the courts.

I hope he gets whats due him. I guess he’ll feel at home behind the bars housed with some of the very ones that are accusing him and victims of this horrible abuse. What a sick being.

I’m glad they are seated and not standing. That could result in a spanking…

8 men and 8 women.  I wonder if men and women feel differently about this kind of crime, or is it about the same.
