Alabama Judge Embroiders Ten Commandments on Judicial Robe

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/usworld/news-article.aspx?storyid=29233

A judge refused to delay a trial Tuesday when an attorney objected to his wearing a judicial robe with the Ten Commandments embroidered on the front in gold.

Circuit Judge Ashley McKathan showed up Monday at his Covington County courtroom in southern Alabama wearing the robe. Attorneys who try cases at the courthouse said they had not seen him wearing it before. The commandments were described as being big enough to read by anyone near the judge.

Attorney Riley Powell, defending a client charged with DUI, filed a motion objecting to the robe and asking that the case be continued. He said McKathan denied both motions.

McKathan told The Associated Press that he believes the Ten Commandments represent the truth "and you can't divorce the law from the truth. ... The Ten Commandments can help a judge know the difference between right and wrong."

Powell said if he loses his case, he expects the judge's wearing of the Ten Commandments robe to be part of an appeal.

5. "Thou shalt not operate a motor vehicle while under the influence"

Yeah- I clearly remember that commandment.

I have trouble imagining this judge could ever be impartial.

Not good.

6. He might be more impartial if the case was cross-burning.
