Laurence - Bend over for justice!

Podcast of this storyIt didn't take long for Isaac Parker to establish himself as "The Hanging Judge" when he came to Ft. Smith in 1875, but have you ever heard of "The Shove A Wild Monkey Up Their Ass Judge?"

Unlike Parker, Judge Augustus Marmoset had absolutely no compassion whatsoever, even for the victims. They were just as likely to hear "Shove a monkey up that son of a bitch!" as criminals dragged into his court.

Back then, monkeys were rare and expensive, so he eventually ran out.

That's when he started using midgets in monkey suits...

Oh, NOW you've heard of him?

For some bizarre reason, this reminded me of The Tale of Lemmiwinks from South Park.
