Plan B Forum

A Texas judge told a jury to reverse a 'guilty' decision because he had been told by God that the woman was innocent. The jury refused.

The defendant had been found guilty of sex trafficking, and he had, apparently, been praying about the case. Word somehow got to the Texas Judicial Commission who publicly warned the judge to knock it off. He told them that he had been under a lot of stress and his doctors informed the TJC that he was suffering from a temporary mental condition.

Oh I would like to know more about this. I wonder if the good Christian judge had been using the services offered by the comely Ms. Perez. This happened January 2018 and we are only now hearing about it.

If he indeed suffered from some temporary delirium he has my sympathy. But it's a little Catch-22ish. If he is smart enough to make up a story about God in order to get a defendant off the hook (she got 25 years but is now seeking a retrial) then he's not bonkers.

Religion isn't a "temporary mental condition."

Of course there's a meme.

sounds like money or pussy or pressure was the major influencer.

god can t get a break.....

I have never seen such a firmer grasp of the obvious.
But even then, you hedged your bets by giving us not one, not two, but THREE options.

If wes has proved one thing is that he absolutely can not grasp the obvious to the point where he poses insipid questions that make "what if they gave a war and nobody came?" look like Descartes. if anything we should be encouraging this nascent ability in hopes that it catches on.

The Right Honourable Gentleman from Michigan makes an excellent point...

For wes, the obvious is generally more elusive than a snow leopard...

Afterall, this is the guy who said he couldn't see any examples of Trump telling a lie...

If he manages to get hold of the obvious about something, he should be praised for his rare achievement, not mocked...

Ah, but the most obvious explanation of all has not been mentioned here---


















IT"S TEXAS

.. "I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say
"You should have told me you was married, baby
She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty, I was dead
Now, what'd you think that the old judge said ?
"Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas
Case dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em
Alone, boy)"
