BFEE Judge who Railroaded Gov. Don Siegelman Relieved of Docket for (allegedly) Beating Ex-Wife [View all]



Alabama: Federal Judge Loses His Docket After an Arrest

By ALAN BLINDER
The New York Times, AUG. 13, 2014

A federal judge who was arrested after he was accused on Saturday of assaulting his wife will not be assigned any new cases for now. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, in a statement posted on its website on Wednesday, also said that cases already on the docket of the judge, Mark E. Fuller, would be moved before other judges. Judge Fuller, of the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, was charged with battery after the police were called to a luxury hotel in Atlanta. He was released on bond on Monday on a misdemeanor charge. Judge Fuller joined the bench in Montgomery in 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.

Of course, there's no mention in the NYT article of Fuller's role in railroading Gov. Don Siegelman, let alone what makes him BFEE.
