Brickbat: Shocking Outcomes

Former Maryland Circuit Court Judge Robert C. Nalley has been sentenced to a year probation after pleading guilty to violating the civil rights of Delvon L. King. King was representing himself in Nalley's court on a gun charge. When King tried to make a point during jury selection, Nalley ordered a sheriff's deputy to activate a Stun-Cuff on King's ankle, sending a 50,000-volt shock to him.

A Stun Cuff? Your fucking shitting me, right?

[DenverJ]

Also, first. SUCK IT, FIST

Let's have some decorum. This is Brickbats, after all.

[Radioactive]

I call your decorum, and raise you a golf clap!

[KerryW]

Sorry, that's a string bet, the golf clap raise is not allowed.

I, however, raise a golf clap.

I am gonna beat you on AM links today, Fist.

Good luck and may the best commenter win!

Stun-Cuff

[straffinrun]

He should've wrapped a towel around his head. It would've bought him some time.

[Fist of Etiquette]

At least the sheriff got to use his stun cuff without fear of consequence. That had to be fun, right?

[straffinrun]

ShocKing fun.

[Pompey]

Boooooo!

Apparently you are not acquainted with Mr. Plissken's, um, device in "Escape from New York".

[Swiss Servator]

I thought you were dead?

[Radioactive]

am too, was going for "The Running Man" effect where we get to see one work through the wonders of FX

[JeremyR]

A year's probation? That will teach him

[Hyperbolical]

Well, it does say "Former Maryland Circuit Court Judge" so I hopefully assume that he lost his seat, too. This King character might a despicable one, but violating one's rights in this way seems as though the judge were trying to prevent King from getting a fair shake in the jury selection (I could RTFA...nah). So, yeah, one year probation seems small.

[Jerryskids]

He was already retired but was on the list of in-case-of-emergency judges and was removed from the list for unspecified "reasons" after the case was publicized. The reasons may have been related to his previous disciplinary action stemming from an incident where he flattened the tires of some night-shift cleaning lady who had parked in "his" parking spot near the door. He also apologized to the court for his actions since it reflected poorly on himself and the court, but he didn't apologize to the guy he had joy-buzzered. You really should click on the link just to get a look at the picture of the guy and his lawyer - if that ain't a stock photo for the category "Alzheimer's" I don't remember what is.

Justice!

I'd have sentenced the judge to a year in prison, with a special condition: he could choose to plead for a reduction in sentence in a special televised trial, where he would be fitted with a similar device, and the guy he had ordered shocked sat in as judge.

[Notorious UGCC]

So the deputy apparently successfully used the Nuremberg defense? Because I don't see anything about *him* getting convicted.

And of course I have no doubt that if (Lord forbid) I happened to have the remote control to some person's stun cuff, and I turned it on because the guy was interrupting me, then I'd get only one year's probation, too.

[UnCivilServant]

"Procedures were followed"

[Cyto]

Pretty surprising that Judicial Immunity didn't get him off in this case. I suppose the plea deal to make it all go away was the trade-off. It seems that had he taken it to the mattresses he would have prevailed on the "I am the law" defense. If it works for intentionally framing innocent people it should certainly work for being a little over-zealous in your exercise of control over your courtroom.

[Notorious UGCC]

I know judges are largely free of *civil* liability for what they do in court, but this is criminal, so I don't know how that works - there probably aren't a lot of precedents of judges being criminally prosecuted for what abusing defendants in the courtroom.

[Notorious UGCC]

a possibly relevant video

[Notorious UGCC]

Why not send the judge to GMITA prison, where "G" is for "gavel"?

[AlmightyJB]

I'm guessing Mr. King would have been happy with 5 minutes of having the shock cuffs remote while the judge was wearing them.
