I’m still felling icky today but thankfully I’ve been spared the high fevers everyone else seems to be getting w/this crap.
Trying to keep my mind on other things I stumbled across this headline from the Sf Chronicle. Remember the Jack’n Judge? You know the guy using a pump to masterbate under his bench during cases. Looks like his career came and went but is now possibly facing criminal charges.
“We’re certainly saddened by the thought that the prosecutor filed charges,” said Clark Brewster, Thompson’s attorney. “We thought all this was dealt with when he resigned. We didn’t feel like anything that was alleged rose to the level of criminal charges.”
Investigators later collected carpet samples, Thompson’s robes and the chair from behind the bench, and found semen, according to court records.
Foster told authorities she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during the August 2003 murder trial of Kurt Vomberg, a man accused of shaking a toddler to death. The case ended in a hung jury. The whooshing sound could be heard on Foster’s audiotape of the trial.
When jurors at the trial asked the judge about the sound, Thompson said he hadn’t heard it, but would listen for it.
Last time I checked, masturbating in public was still a crime in all 50 states.
