Judge William Adams made $49,000 during first four months of suspension (child abusing judge)
CORPUS CHRISTI — Aransas County family law Judge William Adams received nearly $49,000 in pay in almost four months since he stopped hearing cases.
Adams was suspended after the release of a 2004 video showing him striking his then-teenage daughter with a belt. His duties in the County Court-at-Law included determining whether parents were fit to raise their children.
The county must continue to pay Adams while awaiting the results of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct's investigation.
"I'm not going to comment on it," said County Judge Burt Mills, who, as the county's chief executive, oversees the budget. "It's something that's mandated by the Supreme Court. We have no say so."
