NAACP Calls For Judge's Dismissal
lean up his Dawson yard. NAACP leaders say that is wrong. "Excessive. It don't fit the crime," said NAACP President Ezekiel Holley. "It is a travesty of justice." . . . In a letter to Dawson City Manager Barney Parnacott, the NAACP calls Municipal Court Judge Henry Williams behavior on the bench "mean, nasty, petty, and vindictive to human beings," further calling for Williams to be "immediately removed for his position." . . .
Ten years ago, the NAACP tried to get Judge Williams fired. "There was a petition circulating in Terrell County that Judge Williams was unfair, that he was rude and he was insensitive. There was a disparity in sentencing. Some of the same issues have surfaced all over again." . . . Another watch dog group is filing a separate complaint against Judge Williams with the Judicial Qualifications Commission, but for another case heard the same night as McCray's. In that case, a 17-year-old was sentenced to six months' house arrest for disorderly conduct.
