Herman Thomas had an enviable political record as a black Democrat elected and re-elected in a county overwhelmingly white and increasingly Republican. The respected circuit judge once was the Democratic Party's choice to be the first black federal judge in south Alabama.

His defense is kind of hard to buy, considering what a colossally-bad bit of judgment and huge departure from accepted standards it would be to have EVER been alone with an inmate in his office, let alone on at least 15 different occasions.
