[sofa king]

Ahhh. Let me wipe a tear from my eye before we begin.

BRISTOW, Okla. -- A former Oklahoma judge is going to prison for four years for indecent exposure.

Former Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson was sentenced Friday to one year in prison on each of four counts and Judge Allen McCall is ordering that the sentences be served consecutively.

Thompson was convicted of indecent exposure for using a sexual device called a "penis pump" during trials - including a murder trial.

5. I know someone who has to use one of those to urinate

(presumably b/c of prostate cancer?)--could it have anything to do with that? :shrug:

6. Just watch.. After all the hub-bub dies down

he will get a doctor to certify that he has "health issues", and he'll get to spend his sentence with "house arrest"..

He'll probably do a few months, and then will spend the rest of it watching cooking shows & Oprah..

Creep or not, I don;t see them letting him spend time with criminals :eyes:

12. Was he not aware of the penile codes?

Somebody had to say it.

13. i think if this judge had some sort of excuse for his behavior (prostate

trouble or something) it would have been made public. it's an intriguing-enough situation that the reporters must have been all over it. honestly, a judge using a penis pump during a court proceeding has got to be the weirdest courtroom activity i've ever heard.
