Here's a holiday SHOCKER from one of the most politically prominent families in Kansas City and a one time political power broker:
KCTV5: Former judge Leonard Hughes jailed in domestic violence case
Deets:
"Former state and Kansas City municipal judge Leonard Hughes III spent Christmas Eve behind bars after he was accused of violating an order of protection.
Hughes went before a judge Wednesday morning. His bond was set at $25,000 and he was ordered not to have any contact with the victim in the case. Because of his status as a former judge, a special judge is expected to be appointed to oversee the case after the entire Jackson County bench recused themselves on Wednesday."
And there's where this story stops making sense . . .
KCTV5 noted: "At the time, Hughes said he was retiring to serve as head of Freedom Inc., the political organization in the black community that his parents, Leonard and Mamie Hughes, helped found. But he was battling personal issues, and apparently incorrectly thought he had the post lined up."
There's not one bit of fact checking in that passage . . . Freedom, Inc. now operates under a leadership board and they just had their elections so any executive position wouldn't be opening up for quite some time. The political club connection to this sordid story is a non sequitur at best.
However . . . The article gets back on track with some deets about the cause of arrest: "Court documents show that Hughes and his wife filed for divorce this summer. Online court records show that case is still pending, and that Hughes' attorney withdrew from the case earlier this month.
A woman sought an order of protection in September, but it wasn't clear Wednesday what the woman's relationship to Hughes is. KCTV5 was unable to reach the woman's attorney,"
Moreover . . .
"Hughes is accused of violating that order of protection on Dec. 20, Dec. 21 and Dec. 22 . . . Hughes returns to court on Jan. 7. Special judges had already been appointed to handle his divorce and the initial order of protection, which was a civil matter. The alleged violations are criminal charges and Hughes could face criminal penalties if found to have violated the order."
And so this holiday features harsh times for a Kansas City political dynasty family that continues to be embroiled in controversy.
Developing . . .
Now that is a damn shame.
ReplyDeleteThat dude is a first class douche bag.

ReplyDeleteSo fucking what?
They're a bunch of lawyers and judges. Not kings and queens.
Get your chicken little tongue out of their assholes.
You can take the nigger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the nigger.
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope that he was kicking Gwen Grant's ass when he was arrested.
ReplyDeleteFucking NIGGER!!!
ReplyDeleteHe'll be fine. He is still a lawyer. You pretty much have to muder someone or scam your clients to get disbarred.
ReplyDeleteBummer for this guy, hope that he made bail and got a big breakfast. This city has no respect.
ReplyDeleteI know this moron,i wanted charges dropped-my son had done somethings against us.I called police a couple if times to help.This idiot says to me,cant have charges dropped.He said maybe i schouldnt call police.I hope he gets charges filed on him.ha!ha!
DeleteMoney,Money,Money.He will get out of course of this.Why schould he not get charged,like the ones he put away for same thing?
DeleteI'll tell you this, the Hughes family has had their share of trouble but they always manage to come out on top. This will be no exception. A Merry Christmas to them.
ReplyDeleteMoney,and who you know right.The American way
DeleteThe Black Male Monster... a product of nepotism, entitlement and grand standing. It's no surprise that this so-called Black elite found himself on the wrong side of law - for Christmas no less. The Black experience is marked by rhetoric of God-fearing hypocrisy. Just like everything else, the Black male monster maintains a standard of do as I say... not as I do. The rules are simply inapplicable to his position, whatever that it is. It changes with the seasons. The Black Male Monster... there's no relief in sight, not even on Christmas. God bless us all.
ReplyDelete@8:11 AM Yes, indeed.
ReplyDeleteAn attorney had to hire an attorney. Don't that just beat all.
ReplyDeleteHe was an idiot in law school. Reportedly he flunked out and then played the card to get back in. I know many who went before Mr. Hughes (I refuse to call him Judge) and they needed to take some green to him to make their blues go away.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a case of what goes around comes around. To quote Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, " Happy New Year! In jail!"
This is what I imagine Hughes said to his wife during their encounter:
ReplyDeleteHUGHES TO WIFE:
Ho, ho, ho...
Open up the do[or]
I'm Santa Clause and guest what y'all, I've got something to show...
I came to bring some Christmas spirit.
I got a big bag now guess what's in it.
Nothing for you, bitch.
I came to collect every stitch of my clothes.
So, Merry Christmas and ho, ho, ho
niggers gonna nig even at christmas!
ReplyDeleteHow is all that domestic protection bullshit working for ya JUDGE?
ReplyDeleteNigger trash.
ReplyDeleteWith ZERO surprise, the bigot that tries to present himself as vocal majority, spends most of this most holiest of days, posting hate.
ReplyDeleteEven Linus would likely say, "what a jerk".
11:52 ...and you are what? The great lover? Fucking alligator in lizard's clothing.
ReplyDeleteJudge Hughes and his family are in my prayers for whatever the circumstance.
ReplyDeleteYou got to be kidding?
DeleteYou sound so much like a pedophile it's creepy
ReplyDeleteStupidity stands out in this case more than anything else. Because this guy is a judge. And, if he's that stupid and or warped or both, what does that say about the decisions he's made over the years. He was the strictest of all the K.C. municipal judges. He is in a unique situation to gain much needed humility through grace.
ReplyDeleteSlow down, the man is still a dick for Gods Sake.
ReplyDeleteHe was in the slammer for the same reason Toni Bones fuck boy was -- beatin' deir bitches! Wonder if they bonded in the joint.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why Hughes Judge buddies didn't inform him wife beating has been illegal since the 1970s?
ReplyDeleteWith all do respect to Black Metal Jack his former chika Yo Yo was gonna pawn his Dine Bag Darrell so the front door had to come down before she scored an eight ball respectively
ReplyDeleteThrow the book at him. Hughes is a dirtbag.
ReplyDeleteDimebag?
ReplyDeleteSo what WERE the other judges doing when this guy was carrying on?
ReplyDeleteAnd certainly Muni Court Lawyers knew about it?
Better chill with that racist shit let yourself be known or shut yo bitch ass up these fuckin corn fed honky bitches get on my nerves and fuck judge bitchass hughes I bet he dont hit another bitch just cuz u apart of the judicial system dont mean they wasnt gonna lock his hoe ass up thats what he get hope he dont get fucked tho
ReplyDeleteAKA Mr. 180. Put countless innocent men on 6 month guilty sentences. How interesting!
