Federal Judge Mark Fuller Aarrested for Domestic Violence last month —Still on the Bench
Click and Sign if you Wish
Federal Judge Mark Fuller was arrested for domestic violence last month after his wife called 911 during the attack.
But rather than face trial, Fuller agreed to an intervention program. He will spend no time behind bars—he’s set to return to the bench—and his record will be expunged.
Fuller has completely lost the public trust. Men who beat their wives should have no place in deciding justice for others. And right now, there’s a ton of attention on domestic violence. It has even forced Alabama’s senators to call on Fuller to step down. If we all call for his resignation now, the public outcry will force him out of the judgeship. Will you add your name?

Background at salon.com from September 2014::
Fortunately, calls for accountability for the federal judge from Alabama’s Middle District have now become a “virtual chorus” over these last few days. The state’s Governor, as well as both of Alabama’s U.S. Senators and its entire Congressional delegation, save for one member (Rep. Mike Rogers), have now called for Fuller’s resignation and/or impeachment.
However, his resignation (and arguably his impeachment) would be far too generous for Fuller, as I’ll discuss below, given previous allegations — by his first wife — that mirror what we now know about him, concerning drug and alcohol abuse, as well as physical abuse of both the first wife and their children…
Corporate media and members of Congress finally notice
On Wednesday, MSNBC’s All in with Chris Hayes finally devoted an entire segment to the outrageous case which we first reported back in early August, just after Fuller had been arrested for beating his wife bloody at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta. He was arrested by Atlanta Police following a 911 call from his second wife Kelli, during which she is heard being struck, asks for an ambulance, and implores the dispatcher: “Please help me. He’s beating on me.”
America’s most heinous judge: Why wife-beater Mark Fuller deserves more than resignation
It seems strange to me that someone who is ineligible to own firearms under Federal and many State Laws due to Domestic Violence can be a Judge.
Tons of legal cracks large enough to drive a truck thru here.
This is one case in which we need strong Federal Government. We need uniform crime definitions and penalties thru-out the States in cases of Domestic Violence.
