"He's lucky to get out of here alive." Kentucky judge's response to seeing a defendant's Barack Obama shirt.
When Darryl Broaddus stood before Judge Sandra McLaughlin last summer for his arraignment on drug charges, he already had one strike against him. That strike: a Barack Obama t-shirt.
“He’s lucky to get out of here alive,” McLaughlin said within earshot of Broaddus and a full courtroom. Twice, she stated that the shirt was “not helping” his cause.
“Did you see his t-shirt? Barack Obama, ‘Let’s Do It Again.’ That was a double whammy,” she said, according to video footage of the courtroom.
You can see the video here:
Apparently this is not the first time that Judge McLaughlin has made inappropriate and sometimes racist remarks in her courtroom. In fact apparently she is the lowest ranked judge in Lousiville right now.
Gee, how surprising.
