[@wolfe2118]

The deputy said it was because he knew there were no cameras there. I'm shocked no one is asking about the other woman who also claimed it to happen to her who has since passed away.

[@TheREALOC1972]

Here's a better question...... How did the Deputy get the key to the Judge's Chambers? In our county there's only 2 people who have a key to the Judge's chambers, The Judge and the Court Reporter......... The Court reporter is a 57 year old woman.... Which tells me 1 thing, The Judge was hitting it too, probally at the same time in order for her to stay out of jail.

A Judge was killed by a Sheriff in the courtroom? If so, then there must be some audio and video evidence. All courtroom proceedings are recorded. Maybe this event actually occurred. But even if it did, the truth will never be told because it’s ILLEGAL for criminal charges to be brought against any government employee. Yes - Even a Sheriff who kills a judge. So the evidence will be suppressed, and then the story will change in small increments. First it was a murder. Then it was a crime of passion. Then it was a misunderstanding. Then it was justifiable use of force. The whole process will take about six months. In the end, nothing happened. Communists control all recorded history and they don’t commit crimes; by definition.

[@roymartin3002]

So the Sheriff chose to look the other way while one his own was violating this woman and got pissed off because he got sued by the victim and the judge accused him of not doing his job.

It’s a real problem that police feel they are entitled to avoid consequences for their actions. Sounds like he felt justified in attacking the judge because he wouldn’t play along. That is insane.

This is exactly why our Founders never wanted organized police. They gave each of us arrest power known as citizen arrest and the 2A to enforce that power.

Each of us is a cop so time to disband ALL SOVEREIGN CITIZEN GANG PD's nationwide!

[@georgegravette1132]

Just pure speculation on my part: small-town crime, the Sheriff and deputy are related, and the judge and woman accuser are also related. Again, just a wild guess. But then the news report gave us absolutely nothing with regard to motive, so it's better than nothing.

The county's case with former deputy and sheriff also named was on hold until federal civil rights case against former deputy concluded, which it recently did and he pled guilty. Now the county's case is off the hold status and was to continue.

Woah - you are trying to do a character assassination on the sheriff. The deputy abused women NOT when he was working as a deputy. The deputy Ben Fields was working a second job when he abused this woman. NOT as deputy. I would expect there would be all kinds of repurcussions if Sheriff Stine disciplined Fields when he had done nothing wrong as a deputy. He did eventually fire Fields for "conduct unbecoming" but it is very clear that the news, once again, is fake.
