A US jury has sentenced 59 year-old Oklahoma judge, Donald D. Thompson, to one year in prison for using a penis pump on the bench during three murder trials and a civil case.
The verdict, which exposed the judge's behind-the-bench secrets, capped a strange chapter in the state's history.
Thompson's court reporter, Lisa Foster, recalled how she discovered the source of a "sh-sh" sound in the courtroom. She said she was able to see Thompson's penis inside the pump through a small gap between a drawer and a door.
She said she saw Thompson's penis 15 to 20 times over the three years, and also saw him shave his scrotum and urinate into a trashcan behind the bench. "I was really shocked and kind of scared, because it was so bizarre", Foster said. "I didn't know what to do".
The judge denied ever using the pump, a device used in the hope of enlarging the penis or combatting erectile dysfunction, saying it was a joke gift from his best friend. He said he never used it on his penis. "I should have thrown it away, but I didn't", Thompson said.
The white-handled pump sat on an evidence table in front of the jury throughout the trial. They also heard court tapes from each trial with the high-pitched whoosh of air during testimony in the murder trials.
Other witnesses said Thompson often made himself at home behind the bench, removing his shoes to shine them and clip his toenails, spitting tobacco into a cup and fidgeting with his electronic organizer.
