Since it's all wild guesses at this point, here's mine:
The judge forgot he had a porn pic of the sheriff's daughter on his phone before he handed it to him.
Heat of moment, is what I'd say in court.Y'know...that's a likely theory.
The last theory I read on arfcom was that it wasnt the sheriff's phone, it was the daughters. The Dad found nasty texts from the judge and came to confront him.Y'know...that's a likely theory.
