I Love Yew, Texas

New Braunfels is a small town stuck between Austin and San Antonio. It is famous for the rivers running through it, providing great fun for tubers in the hot Texas sun.

And a butt crazy judicial system.

 

State District Judge Jack Robison interrupted jury deliberation to “sway jurors to return a not guilty verdict in the trial of a Buda woman accused of trafficking a teen girl for sex.”

He said he was powerful sorry to interrupt them but, “when God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it,” according to the Herald-Zeitung in New Braunfels.

I suspect the jury figured that if God wanted them to know something, he would have told them, not the judge.

The jury went against the judge’s wishes, finding Gloria Romero-Perez guilty of continuous trafficking of a person and later sentenced her to 25 years in prison. They found her not guilty of a separate charge of sale or purchase of a child.

In 2011, Robinson, who has been a Republican judge for 24 years, was reprimanded for jailing a man for two days for calling him a “fool” in a public restroom after a custody hearing.  You can do that. You cannot disrupt a hearing to do it, but bathrooms are safe havens for the 1st Amendment.  You can call a judge a damn fool outside of a courtroom if you want to or even if God tells you to.

However, think how much money we’d save if we eliminated juries and just let God tell Jack who is guilty and who ain’t.
