Judge Sentences Man to Six Weeks In...Church?
No, you don't hear of that happening very often, but it's the case for a white man given the option of six weeks at a black church or 30 days in jail for disorderly conduct:
"A judge sentenced a suburban Cincinnati man to attend services for six weeks at a predominantly black church for threatening to punch a black cab driver and using racial slurs.Complete story here.
Brett Haines, 36, of Anderson Township, picked church over spending 30 days in the Hamilton County jail. Judge William Mallory Jr. offered Haines the choice Friday after Haines was convicted of disorderly conduct.
Haines was arrested in November for threatening cab driver David Wilson and Wilson's wife and telling them he hated black people. Prosecutors said Haines was drunk.
'It seems readily apparent to me that you don't like black people,' Mallory told Haines. 'That's OK with me. But you have to understand that you are at the whim and authority of a black judge.'"

Too funny, I wonder how that will all pan out by the end of the six weeks. I hope you have a followup.

If I can find the information, I will.
Looked into this abit a week or so ago. The guy got wasted and said some awful things to a cabby, been there done that (but not proud of it). Apparently the guy had a clean record before this. He was charged with Disorderly 4degree (been there done that in college). The thing that gets me is he was sentanced to 30 days in jail!!! The majority if not all of these Disorderly punishments is a simple payout fine even for second offenders. this judge seemed to throw down the max sentance making him a partial judge in my opinion. The other part of this stupid story is the guy spent 5 days in jail. This was conveniently not reported. Judge pulls him out of jail and brings him to court with reporters waiting. He makes front page news the next day! MLK weekend, judge running for re-election? Sound fishy to me. Judge, "you are at the whim and authority of a black judge"??? Sounds like reverse descrimination to me. Also sounds like a big lawsuit. I can't believe this guy received all this punishment for a Disorderly charge in the 4th degree. I paid out my ticket. So what the guy got blasted and insulted a cabby. Stupid story really.
