Judge Charged For Stupid Comments

(Orlando, Florida) The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission has charged Orange County Judge Alan C. Todd with breaking judicial rules by making a series of "rude, intemperate and demeaning comments." Specifically, he chastised a deputy sheriff who had a child out of wedlock, saying she was a "disgrace to society," "had no morals," and her child was "a bastard."

He didn't stop there. Judge Todd also said Deputy Mindy Hood's family "obviously had no morals" and that "it is acceptable for a male to have sex before marriage, but if a female does so, she is not respected and considered a tramp." And, to top things off, the notice of rulebreaking alleges that the judge said: Baptists "think there is no sin in the world and have no morals"; Pastors and priests shouldn't marry a woman that has children out of wedlock or couple that has been living together, because those actions are morally wrong and sinful; and children raised in single-family homes normally go to jail as adults.

Without any prompting, Judge Todd attacked just about all segments of society at some time. It kind of makes one suspicious about the fairness of his rulings.
