BREAKING: Federal Judge Who Presided Over Siegelman Case and Who Recently Beat His Own Wife Bloody Strikes Deal to Avoid Prosecution
Mark Fuller's charges to be dropped, record expunged following court-approved drug and alcohol evaluation and successful completion of once-a-week domestic violence program...

While Don Siegelman continues to serve out a 6.5 year prison sentence for something that 113 bipartisan former state Attorneys General argue has never ever been a crime until the former Democratic Governor of Alabama was charged with it, the federal U.S. District Court judge who presided over the trial and sentenced him has now struck a deal to avoid his own prosecution all together after having beaten his wife bloody in an Atlanta hotel room last month.

As we reported in an update last week, Judge Mark Fuller --- appointed to a lifetime job on the federal bench by George W. Bush in 2002 --- had reportedly checked into an unspecified "treatment program" in hopes of avoiding prosecution after being charged in August with domestic battery. Police reported at the time that they discovered the federal judge had dragged his wife around the hotel room by her hair, kicked her, and struck her several times in the mouth, leaving her with lacerations on her face, bruises on her legs, and blood found on the bathroom tub.

In court on Friday, Fuller struck a pre-trial deal to avoid prosecution entirely, despite reports that he had also beaten his previous wife as well, according to records from his 2012 divorce. Those records are said to have included accusations of drug abuse, domestic violence and infidelity with his court bailiff. The divorce papers were mysteriously sealed by the court at the time against the wishes of his former wife.

According to AP this afternoon, following the arrest on domestic abuse charges with his new wife, who has similarly charged that Fuller had an affair with his law clerk, it appears that Fuller will, once again, get off the hook...

1. Rank has its privilege.

Sickening.

[AuntPatsy]

2. Oh, of course he's avoiding his crimes nothing new ....where is the outrage being heard, oh yeah

no where where it will bother his everyday life .....

There is them and then there's us, more proof.

[dhill926]

3. Disgusting...

[Jack Rabbit]

4. He could be impeached for bad behavior

According to the constitution, federal judges may hold their offices "during good behavior."

I don't think anybody here would consider beating one's wife good behavior.

HOWEVER
[/font][/center]
Impeachment is done by a majority vote in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by misogynist Republicans.

[cstanleytech]

5. If he was cheating on his wife thats hardly good behavior either. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Yes, but we should always remember the golden rule

IOKIYAR

[LoisB]

17. Always.

[rhett o rick]

6. There are two justice systems, one for the American Aristocracy and one for the masses. nm

[DontTreadOnMe]

7. How can this guy possibly still have his job!!!!

There is no justice in America anymore!

[Cirque du So-What]

9. I would argue that the justice system has always been a stacked deck

but it appears more blatant nowadays - like TPTB aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Rove rules in Alabama...nuff said.

Been known around here for the longest time.

[christx30]

13. Look at Chris Brown.

Beat Rhianna so bad he put her in the hospital. He's still very loved in music. Still has his life. I'd love to see him go to jail. His temper is going to end up getting someone killed one of these days.

But, yeah, people that beat up their significant others deserve to be in prison.

[BradBlog]

15. Chris Brown is not a federal judge deciding the fate of others...

While I have no love or defense for Brown, he's a musician. Mark Fuller is a federal judge with a lifetime appointment, deciding upon the lives and fates of others (like Siegelman, for example.)

There is -- or should be -- a higher standard for such people. Especially, in this case, where Fuller has a previous record of beating his past wife as well.

[heaven05]

21. she didn't press charges

and went back with him. Yeah he should have, like this 'judge' POS, served some time behind bars to reflect on his misdeeds. The judge like wilson, zimmerman will NEVER be held responsible for heinous crimes. And yes, dragging a person around by her hair, bloody mouth and nose indicating blows to the face and kicking her is heinous no matter what the disagreement. That is extreme violence. She pressed charges.

[freshwest]

26. Judge William Adams was susended for a year for beating the hell out of his disabled daughter.

But he got his $150,000 salary paid anyway. Then he was reinstated. That was in 2011. He only got put out of office because he didn't win re-election this year:

On Tuesday, William Adams sought the Republican nomination for a fourth full term in office. He lost by a margin slimmer than one might assume. Challenger Richard Bianchi, the Aransas County attorney, bested him by just 7 percent of the vote. With no Democrats running for judge in Aransas, Bianchi will likely assume the role at the beginning of 2015.

His Wikipedia page has been scrubbed, but when it was up it said he was GOP,. just as the above shows. There have been more than one wife beater, rapists, etc. run on the GOP ticket.

[Hissyspit]

11. Fucking disgusting.

What a goddamned joke.

[demigoddess]

12. I agree

[blackspade]

14. What a sick fuck.

He should be disbarred.

[Deadbeat Republicans]

16. An assault is only a misdemeanor?

And yet, a pothead is serving a life sentence for growing cannabis!
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue ?

[Downwinder]

18. Samuel B. Kent was removed in Galveston

for lying to investigators about sexually abusing two female employees

Mark Fuller should get the same.

[The Wizard]

19. Obviously not a well balanced man

All pf his rulings are now subject to being reversed. He has a different center than normal people.

[heaven05]

20. "charges dropped, record expunged"

unbelievable. must be nice to be part of the 'privileged class'.

[marble falls]

22. What a total shitbag.

[tooeyeten]

23. "Goodell" think

Beating women less egregious than smoking dope. Can we talk the NFL leaderless ship?

[sendero]

24. Well rather than be angry at this..

... piece shit, what about the piece of shit who allowed this deal to happen. Both should be waiting tables.
