In Tarrant County, Texas, defendants are sometimes strapped with a stun belt around their legs. The devices are used to deliver a shock in the event the person gets violent or attempts to escape.

But in the case of Terry Lee Morris, the device was used as punishment for refusing to answer a judge's questions properly during his 2014 trial on charges of soliciting sexual performance from a 15-year-old girl, according to an appeals court. In fact, the judge shocked Morris three times, sending thousands of volts coursing through his body. It scared him so much that Morris never returned for the remainder of his trial and almost all of his sentencing hearing.

The action shocked the Texas Eighth Court of Appeals in El Paso, too. And it has now thrown out Morris's conviction on the grounds that the shocks, and Morris's subsequent removal from the courtroom, violated his constitutional rights. The court said the shocks effectively barred him from attending his own trial, because he was too scared to return to the courtroom.

Judge ordered defendant to get electric shocks during trial; conviction thrown out

so because this asshat thinks it's okay to shock people for refusing to answer questions, a scumbag will walk

this is what comes of an attitude that might makes right

"Thousands of volts cursing through his body". Lefties sure have a flair for the dramatic these days. If it's a Constitutional issue why didn't the Hussein administration address it during their eight stagnant years? A.G. Holder was too busy sending illegal weapons to drug cartels in Mexico?

The U. S. Attorney General can take issue with state matters. See Ferguson, for example.
