Former Judge Herman Thomas Indicted on Sex, Ethics Charges

Former Mobile County Judge Arrested
(MOBILE, Ala.)(AP) March 26 - Former Mobile County Circuit Judge Herman Thomas has bonded out of the Mobile County Metro Jail after he was arrested Friday afternoon.

Before his arrest, Thomas was indicted by a grand jury on 57 felony counts, accusing him of, among other things, sexually abusing Mobile County inmates in exchange for favors in his courtroom.

Thomas is charged with ethics violations, kidnapping, extortion, sexual abuse and sodomy. The indictment against him includes graphic details of alleged paddling and other sexual favors.

Eight victims are named in the indictment. All of the alleged victims are men. Some still remain in Metro Jail.

"It's a high-tech lynching," said Thomas's attorney, Bob Clark. "This is racism as its very finest. We should be proud citizens of this county and proud we elected these bastards."

Friday, Mobile County District Attorney, John Tyson, Jr., asked for other possible victims of Thomas to come forward.

Thomas resigned from the bench in 2007 amid allegations that he took over other judges' cases without their knowledge, checked inmates out of jail and paddled them, and involved himself in cases where he had personal connections.

Thomas was let out of jail shortly after he was arrested Friday, on a $250,000 bond.

Tyson does not believe Thomas is a flight risk. Thomas's bond, however, has three conditions. Thomas is not allowed to have any contact with males under the age of 21 or contact with witnesses in the case or their family members. If Thomas has a passport, he must give it up.

In 1997, some of Alabama's top Democrats recommended President Clinton appoint Thomas as the first black federal judge in south Alabama. The background check on Thomas dragged on for months and Clinton never made a formal nomination.




LOL

Spanky the Gay Democrat Judge. Maybe him & Barney should hook up. A least he was never nominated by Clinton.

Anyone think Webb would've posted this if the Judge weren't black?

Yes. The Democrat part is the emphasis. We know the love some have showing the "family values" Republicans caught being anything but. This is just more tit for tat.

I agree.

The fact that he's black is just icing on the cake as he demonstrated by boldening AND underlining "the first Black judge" comment. But he would have tried this if he were white as long as he was a democrat.

This is just more of what keeps Americans stupid.

We can definitely find some stuff to agree on. This is one of them. While our political philosophies are far apart in a lot of areas it isn't hard to spot someone pointing out the moles on someone's face just because they bend the other way politically.
 
I'm not playing the race card. Webbway has a long history of pointing out some criminal and then posting their picture, noting that they're black, and being like "Oh, that explains it!"
