Back in August 2006, retired Judge Donald Thompson was convicted on four counts of indecent exposure and sentenced to serve four consecutive one-year sentences. Prosecutors alleged that he used a penis pump while presiding over trials.

In September of this year, Judge Thompson launched an appeal against his conviction, alleging a total of seven errors at his trial, including the use of illegally obtained evidence, improper jurors, violation of the hearsay rule and admission of improper evidence.

Thompson's attorney alleged that the prosecution altered the penis pump to make it work when it was presented as evidence; he also asked the court to take into account the fact that Thompson had been a judge for 24 years. Well, 24 years of pumping is bound to make the implement break down - Thompson should be thankful to the court for fixing it. In fact, I think he should write a thank you letter -

'Dear Sirs, I am writing to express my thanks to the Court for repairing my over-used penis pump....'

The former Judge, who has also forfeited his retirement pension due to the felony, is due to be released next spring.
