BROWNSVILLE — The Aransas County family law judge last year seen beating his then-teenaged daughter in a YouTube video can return to the bench after he was issued a “public warning” by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Judge William Adams has been on paid leave since November, when daughter Hillary Adams posted her secret recording of the lashing, which occurred in 2004 in her bedroom after she’d illegally downloaded music videos. [...] because Judge Adams regularly presides over and decides child custody, child abuse, and family violence cases, his private conduct did cast public discredit upon the judiciary and the administration of justice. Because the statute of limitations for child abuse cases had expired, the video could not be used in the criminal charges. Adams has 30 days to appeal the decision, and can request the Texas Supreme Court lift his suspension, Aransas County Attorney Richard Bianchi said. [...] that happens, family court cases will continue to be handled by visiting judges. Original post on mysanantonio.com Comments on reddit.com

This is a cautionary tale that raises alarming questions about the treatment of youthful, mostly nonviolent offenders in Mississippi and elsewhere. And it calls into question the wisdom of turning over the care of these youths, some as young as 13, to private companies that exist solely to turn a profit.

Whenever I read a news report about police assaulting a homeless guy or unleashing a stream of pepper spray on peaceful protesters, I always wonder where the good cops are. I mean, we’re constantly assured that most police officers are good cops, and that their reputation is being besmirched by a few bad apples. So why aren’t those good cops busy tasering their off-base colleagues? Or at least giving them a good thumping? The answer, it appears is Original post on reason.com Comments on reddit.com
