The judge should be suspended until such time as he straps on the belt and takes three 8-second zaps. If he doesn't defecate in his pants, he can return to work.

quote:

Activated by a button on a remote control, the stun belt delivers an eight-second, 50,000-volt shock to the person wearing it, which immobilizes him so that bailiffs can swiftly neutralize any security threats.

When activated, the stun belt can cause the person to seize, suffer heart irregularities, urinate or defecate and suffer possibly crippling anxiety as a result of fear of the shocks.

The stun belt can also be very painful. When Montgomery County, Md., purchased three of the devices in 1998, a sheriff’s sergeant who was jolted as part of his training described the feeling to The Washington Post like this: “If you had nine-inch nails and you tried to rip my sides out and then you put a heat lamp on me.”

It has now thrown out Morris’s conviction on the grounds that the shocks ordered by district judge George Gallagher, and Morris’s subsequent removal from the courtroom, violated his constitutional rights.


Thrown out conviction...so he's free to go now? What about the 15 year old gals right to justice? She should sue the courts for doing such a frick up if a job. Even if it was consensual...frick the perverts trying to seduce 15 year old girls...how old was this dude?

No. He just gets a new trial.

The article linked in the OP's linked article clarifies
quote:

A Texas court of appeals has ordered a new trial for a convicted sex offender after a Fort Worth judge instructed his bailiff to administer an electric shock to the defendant three separate times with a stun belt for failing to follow courtroom decorum.
