Lest Ye Be Judged

Judge Haywood Turner is charged with pointing a pistol. Police say it appears to be a case of road rage...Investigators say the driver of the car said an older, white male driving a Mercedes attempted wouldn't let them merge, and then pointed a pistol at them...Police did a tag trace, and found the Mercedes registered to Judge Turner...Investigators say he turned himself in on Friday, and was charged with two misdemeanor counts of pointing a pistol.

Misdemeanors?

In Georgia, "simple assault," which is a misdemeanor, includes when you:
"Commit an act that places another in apprehension of receiving violent injury."

Aggravated assault, which is a felony:
"occurs when you assault someone...2) With a deadly weapon..."

So is Judge Turner being judged the way you or I would be judged?

Judge for yourself.

UPDATE: Reason Engaged appropriately pegs this one as belonging in the "Only Ones" category.
