This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby

By Doug on July 3rd, 2006

A Creek County jury late Thursday convicted a former judge who was accused of exposing himself by using a sexual device while he presided over court cases. The panel deliberated more than five hours before returning a guilty verdict against Donald Thompson on all four counts of indecent exposure. The jury had requested a dinner break around 6:30 p.m. and sent a note to the judge at 8:49 p.m. that a decision had been reached.

Jurors recommended one year in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count against the judge, 59, who served more than 20 years on the bench in eastern Oklahoma before his retirement in 2004. [Source]

The fact that his own attorney actually mentioned that the penis pump had no business being in a courtroom is probably enough reason to believe that some sort of wrongdoing happened. The only defense they could muster was that the penis pump was given to the judge as a gag gift. Assuming that’s true and given what his defense lawyer said, who would be like, “Hey look, someone just gave me a penis pump as a gag gift. I should take it to court with me. You know, because that’s … funny. It’s a gag. What could possibly go wrong?”

    I enjoyed reading the This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby post, although I did not think it was entirely the best approach … there are alternatives which would provide more positive results ..
