“With the jury back in place, the defense began by calling Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Lipscomb to the stand and the emotional level in the room ratcheted. Under Deen’s direction, Lipscomb described his present and former duties as leader of the archdiocese, including those pertaining to personnel matters. Lipscomb stated that he knew the defendant since the 1990s due to Thomas’ membership in St. James Catholic Church in Prichard.”

I do not believe that I could publicly announce the “mentoring” defense and simultaneously maintain anything resembling a dignified expression.

Spare the rod and spoil the inmate. When I was in first grade in Texas, the teacher kept a paddle handy for uncooperative students (and yes, this was a public school, not a Catholic school which I hear were worse). I’m sure Alabama was no different then, and would appear to be about the same now.

It would be so great if Kandyse McClure wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail with me.

Are you sure it was not from his wife’s perspective going down on an Argentinian Beach?

It seems like the judge has given a whole new meaning to the term “mentoring.” Brings to mind Governor Sanford’s addition to American idioms when he went missing while “hiking the Appalcahian Trail.”

He visited them in Jail? While a Judge? He resigned? He lost his license? What more could possibly go wrong for this man? Once known as Judge?
