FORT WORTH
State District Judge George Gallagher of Tarrant County told a bailiff on three occasions to punish an uncooperative defendant with electric shocks, and now the sex offender’s conviction has been overturned and a new trial ordered.
Stun belts can be strapped around the legs of some defendants and used to deliver thousands of volts of electric shock in the instance a defendant turns violent or attempts to escape the courtroom. However, in the case of _______, who was convicted in 2014 of charges of soliciting sexual performance from a 15-year-old girl, an appeals court found that Gallagher used electric shocks as punishment after ____ failed to answer the judge’s questions properly.
These Texans and their cattle prods boy, whoo. That is some crazy scary stuff we’re dealing with folks. 15 year olds. Legal in France and most of the developed world to have sex with as well. This right here is why America is coming to be viewed as a declining power.
This was all done because the judge himself is pretty damn close to perfect.
Considering that the judge was found of wrong doing, will there be a recall effort like for Aaron Persky? In fact, in this case, I’d think it would actually be his fellow judges and lawyers who’d go after him for this. I certainly hope he isn’t just going to walk away from this like nothing.
