MOBILE, Alabama - Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson says his office is not done with the Herman Thomas sex abuse trial.
The D.A. Tuesday talked with three jurors who said the verdict the judge read in the case was not the one they agreed to.
Thomas is a former Mobile Circuit Court judge.
Monday, he was found not guilty of sexually abusing and paddling inmates.
Tyson said, "We received phone calls from three of jurors in the Thomas case. They indicated that they needed to tell us some things."
But exactly what those things were are a mystery.
Tyson added, "Please don't ask me to disclose their names. Please don't ask me to disclose specifically what they had to say. That's premature at this point. But, let me just say, that new information comes to us today and we're going to have to react to it by filing appropriate papers in the courts."
The district attorney said he plans to file the affidavits or motions in the case as soon as Wednesday.
He said they'll be filed in the trial court presided over by Special Judge Claud Neilson, and according to Tyson, "maybe another appellate court, depending on what we decide finally what we need to do."
Thomas's attorney Jeff Deen said if jurors had concerns about the verdict, there was plenty of time to say something.
Deen said, "I would be vehemently opposed to setting aside anything now. They (the jurors) heard it read out, they heard the judge say it, and to come back a day later or something and say, 'Well, that's not what I really wanted,' they should have spoken up then."
So, as was the case during the trial, the prosecution and the defense don't agree.
Tyson said, "I thought that we were finished with the trials yesterday (Monday), but in light of the information that we have tonight, I do not think that we are."
Deen said, "I don't know what they (the jurors) are talking about, I really don't know. But, I just think legally, its over with."
As News Five reported on Tuesday's 5pm and 6pm newscasts, three jurors came forward saying the not guilty verdicts announced Monday were not unanimous.
The jurors said they were railroaded and did not vote to acquit Thomas.

Looks like it is all over. Tyson has backed off for some reason.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of inmates who are mentally ill, or have psychological issues. Herman “SPANKY” Thomas should be no exception to this. There are many programs available for him to recieve therapy while serving his debt to society. What is unfortunate is that the jury was misinformed , or just bypassed all together. There are different juries for different cases. Some rare advisory jurys only and as the name implies ,this is the limit of their abliity, to advise only, so the judge is not bound by any recommendation set forth by an advisory jury. A grand jury should bring an indictment and their should be 25 members on a Grand Jury. Not 12. This is a kangaroo court like so many in our nation and operates under admiralty law jurisdiction,mor the judge can swithc between admiralty law and equity law as the need arises to suit the needs of the court(STATE). All allegiance and obligations are owed by the court officers to the court, not to a client, and whenevr their arrises a conflict between client and court the lawyer , as a private card carrying member of the British Accreditation Registry (BAR). All of the officers are working in conjunction and accord with each other. The appearance of opposition is just that an appearance,act,theater, similar to the opposition dividing the country between the republican’ts and the democrooks, an illusion to divide and conquer. “SPANKY” needs to take the ride fo sho!

I wonder why Tyson was not in the courtroom trying the case? Maybe he would have remembered to poll the jury.

I do not pretend to know the solution to the verdict on this case.  My primary regret is that Herman Thomas was not ordered to get some help with what is obviously a problem in his life.  It appears that he is a sick man more than an evil man and needs some supervised therapy to get him back on track and a productive member of society.

nothing to file, cant refile anything against herman, all he can do is use his power to look into the railroading complaint. the case against herman is over.

Did he change his mind about filing charges? I haven’t heard of any yet?

Some info to consider, the bench is a latin word meaning bank,the black robes are from the temple of EL aka Saturn a worshiped cananite god. Court is a British conecpt which is a corporation, and all courts in America operate under the law merchant, Admiralty Law, under the authority of the UCC Uniform Commercial Code, all law is contract law period! The word system is roman,old roman for the sewer, are you getting this yet. It takes research and time to uncover the cabal and corruption and confusion perpetrated upon us all,but there is remedy and recourse, one need only know where to look to find it(UCC). It has taken me 20 yrs to find it , as it was so well hidden, now I knnow and cannot be bothered by any govt.entity without payment of large sums of FRNs Federal Reserve Notes ,which by the way are not lawful money as the Constitution demands, only gold and silver are real money. Do a lil investigating and find out for self. The truth is available if you are willing to do whatever it takes to find it.

Well kudo’s Tyson. Maybe there is one person left to believe in! When you get done do you think you might could go up to Washington co. and clean that system up too? What about the judge that supposed to have minipulated the verdict? Does he get removed from the bench as well? I think I don’t very much believe in the judicial system. Been a part of it for years and it’s all who you know or who you Bl.. Well, yall get the picture!

So what i can’t stand Troy King either… Tyson don’t ruin your reputation on jurors that can’t make up there mind. This is over!

What is known about Judge Claud Neilson? A google search just shows that he is a retired circuit judge that now works as a mediator for trial lawyers. Is it known if he has ever done any work for Clark and Deen? What about Thomas? He has been working in the private sector for the last few years.

The only other information I could turn up on Judge Claud Neilson is that he hates Attorney General Troy King and he dismissed all charges brought against a judge in Jefferson County. Could there be some type of trend?
