Skinner suspended, Thompson protected. Justice?

Shame on the Mississippi Supreme Court and the Clarion-Ledger as they teamed up to protect the identity of a child molester. The Mississippi Supreme Court issued a reprimand, $1,000 fine, and thirty day suspension to Hinds County Youth Court Judge William Skinner last week. Judge Skinner recused himself on a case involving a local attorney convicted of gratification of lust, yet signed an arrest warrant several months later. The Supreme Court disbarred Wendell Shan Thompson in 2012 for his conviction, and stated Mr. Thompson's name throughout the order. However, the Supreme Court and newspaper saw fit to change his identity in all matters dealing with Judge Skinner. Order of suspension

Wendell Shan Thompson was an attorney at the law firm of Copeland Cook Taylor & Bush. He pleaded guilty to one charge of gratification of lust in 2011. Mr. Thompson admitted he "touched and rubbed" the um, private parts of his then fourteen year-old daughter (the court file is posted below). Hinds County Circuit Judge Breland Hilburn issued and suspended a ten-year prison sentence to Mr. Thompson. The court also imposed a five year term of supervised probation and ordered him to register as a sex offender.

Judge Skinner recused himself from the youth court case involving the children, as a court employee was related to the Thompson family. The case was reassigned to a judge from Warren County. Sources informed JJ law enforcement officials told Judge Skinner the parents intended to take at least one of the children and permanently leave the state - in violation of a no-contact order. They were unable to reach the judge assigned to the case. Judge Skinner signed the contempt of court order and issued the arrest warrant. There is no dispute Judge Skinner violated the law, as he signed an order in a case from which he had recused himself. A complaint was filed with the Commission on Judicial Performance against Judge Skinner. The commission recommended a reprimand and $1,000 fine.

However, things began to change when the complaint appeared at the Mississippi Supreme Court. The court added the thirty-day suspension to the sentence. That is indeed the court's prerogative. However, the court also changed Wendell Thompson's name to "Cooper" in the order. Wendell Shan Thompson is not mentioned anywhere in the order despite the fact the disbarment order repeatedly referred to him by name and stated he was convicted of gratification of lust. The Clarion-Ledger shared in the moral cowardice, as it refused to publish Mr. Thompson's name despite having a copy of the court file and instead referred to him as "Cooper". The Supreme Court and state newspaper thus refused to identify a man who was convicted of touching his own daughter in a sexual manner. The Clarion-Ledger stated:

The couple were given the fictitious names “Mr. and Mrs. Cooper” in the Supreme Court’s opinion “to protect the identities of the minor children involved,” the filing says. The Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance filed the complaint against Skinner on behalf of the couple, court records show.

Court records show one of the family’s children who had reached adulthood contacted the state Department of Human Services in late 2010 to report she had been sexually abused by her father for seven or eight years, ending when she turned 18, and that another sister, now over 18, also had been sexually abused as a minor. The first sister “contacted the agency out of concern that her father would repeat the pattern of molestation with her … younger sisters,” Skinner’s motion to dismiss the initial Judicial Commission complaint states.Article

The two entities probably excused their willful omissions on the grounds they were protecting a child's identity. However, it is a sick perversion of justice where someone is allowed to escape public shame because the child he molested happened to be a family member. Thus the more perverse the crime the better protected the pervert is. That is perverted. There is a balancing test between striking all possible references to a victim's identity and the public's right to be protected from a child molester. The convict in this case is not in prison but roaming free on the streets. His identity is kept secret. There was little, if any media coverage of his crime.  However, the judge who tried to protect the children is suspended and shamed by the Supreme Court and the media, while the sicko who touched his own child is protected by the same court and media. It is also interesting that the Mississippi Bar does not even list Mr. Thompson in its lawyer directory - not even as "disbarred".  Firnist Alexander, Rex Foster,  and Dickie Scruggs wishes they were so lucky.   The Mississippi Bar, Mississippi Supreme Court, and Clarion-Ledger should congratulate themselves on a "job" well-done.

I believe the use of the Cooper name is justified by a desire to protect the identities of the children involved. Bloggers aren't journalists, and aren't constrained by journalistic ethics, so that in many cases, bloggers seek sensationalism over responsible reporting. We should never expect the same kind of behavior from responsible journalists or from our courts.

Since the child is over 18, and the second child is now over 18, I do not see where the need to keep the name secret is warranted.

If Mr. Bill Dees had his way convicted pedophiles and sex offenders required to register with the Mississippi SOR could employ psuedonyms to hide themselves from an unsuspecting public.

The Clarion Ledger is a crap newspaper. But, they have a wise and long standing policy of not identifying ANY victim of sexually related crimes. I'm sure these kids suffer enough reading and reliving this cretins crimes without reading about it in the media at this point. KF, your stance on this is a knee jerk reaction and is wrong.

Actually, Bill, one would expect the Court to be consistent with their use of a false name. Why didn't the Court see fit to do that when they disbarred him? Calling BS on your oh-so-high-minded reproach of KF.

Anonymous said...

wonder if the fact that this pervert worked for Copeland Cook had anything to do with the changing of the name?

Anonymous said...

If the supreme court was so interested in protecting the children why would they suspend a Judge that issued an order to protect them. I understand that he may have recused himself and this would be a technical violation of the law that probably deserved some type of reprimand if there were new instances of suspected child abuse and if the appointed judge was not available why should Skinner be ridiculed by the Court and not properly admonished in a more private way.

Anonymous said...

I generally agree with publishing the real name of perverts like this, but I'm with the group who agrees with the pseudonym on this one.

When kids are involved as victims and they can be positively identified by the public shaming of the pervert, I think the rules change. Others disagree - as we clearly see here - which is their prerogative.

Thompson deserved a real sentence, but that's not the issue here. The issue is whether to dredge this back up for kids (now young adults) who had to experience this once, hopefully moved on, and are now having to contend with being part of this sick story once again.

Here's hoping the kids' friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc. aren't JJ readers.

@8:30 AM---you're coming off a little condescending. Bloggers have provided an incredible service when reporters refuse to do the job.

Kingfish, I appreciate your frustration and anger. However, when abuse is involved, as mad as we are about the abuser, the abused should be protected. I d think you can't change the rules mid way thru---if the original disbarmt held the correct name, all other documents should hold the name....if the original disbarmt held a fake name, all other docs should do that as well.

Anonymous said...

10:48 here. 11:04, I think you're largely correct about changing the rules, except that the Order of Disbarment didn't provide the sick details of the offense. In that respect, Thompson was the only one made public by the Order.

The current story focusing on Skinner is one that delves into the sick details that make Thompson more than your run-of-the-mill Eric Law type of pervert. Now the details emerge that the acts involved his own children. That's likely the reason - and one I fully support - for the "Cooper" pseudonym in the current round of stories.

I guess there's some value maybe in outing Thompson as a super-sicko instead of just a regular sicko, but when the child victims are identifiable from the details of a story, the rules should be different.

I'm probably in the minority around here on this, but that's fine. I'm convinced that child victims of abuse like this should get to choose whether to be identified publicly, even if it means passing on an opportunity to deliver a public dose of well-deserved shame, humiliation, etc. to the perpetrator.

That's it for me on this one. Y'all take it from here.

Kingfish said...

Funny how those of you criticizing me say nothing about the bar. Nothing.

Nice incentive you've created. Don't rape your neighbor's kids, rape your own because every one will be sure and keep your identity secret. The bar, the courts, the media. Nice incentive.

Anonymous said...

KF, I don't know what the answer is in this situation. I'm not criticizing you at all. I don't think it can go both ways--the court cant use his real name then turn around and say--oh, we don't want to use his name now... That's pretty childish. Likewise with the media. The sadness that everyone feels for the victims is enormous. Its such a knee jerk reaction to want to protect them because of the abuse. Protecting him-the abuser-is of no importance at all and not even considered.

The MS bar has been a joke for many years. They 'correct' what they think needs correcting in private. It appears to be a club that you belong to, pay dues to, then when shit hits the fan, they 'correct' everything in private. Don't want to tarnish the lawyers, you know.

Skinner is a good judge. I wish he could have reached the sitting judge OR I wish law enforcement would have reached the sitting judge or any other judge in the area. Sad situation all the way around.

Anonymous said...

The VAST majority of abusers of children are closely related to the children they abuse. Neither the courts nor the media NOR the general public cares ONE WHIT whether the identities of these children is revealed when the names, address, photos etc if the abusers is plastered all over creation. So why NOW is there such concern for the (grown) children of THIS man?

Further, the fact that Thompson roams free is a non-issue. He, like 99.9% of convicted child molesters poses no threat to the community at large. He, like most others, chose close relatives because of their perceived "safety". The travesty is that HE...because of who is knows...was spared the mandatory prison sentence that any OTHER person would have incurred for a similar offense.

I think the bigger issue is why wasn't he put behind bars for a long time to be molested by Bubba in the first place? Skinner fell on the grenade. Props to him.

Kingfish, posting this was in poor taste. His identity is not relevant to the issues in Judge Skinner's case and is not secret. He's registered as a sex offender. There's no big conspiracy to protect him. And you're not uncovering anything. You're causing further emotional trauma to his daughters by bringing attention to this matter.

KF, I am told that you have a legal education, but for whatever reasons you do not have a license or practice law. That said, by virtue of your education you should not be misleading some readers on here by seeking to praise Skinner by way of a horrible cretin, Thompson. The punishment of Thompson had nothing to do with the improper actions of Skinner. Judges are not athletes or even cops that can earn some degree of admiration of throwing away the rules and doing whatever THEY determine is correct in a tight situation. The situation wasn't tight for any judge, the cops didn't need a warrant to arrest Thompson for violating the previous order. They need to answer to those that want to reward Skinner.

Calling Bullshit said...

12:50; your claim that 99.9% of child molesters are thereafter harmless is pure bullshit and you know it. Oh, wait....you said 'no threat to the community AT LARGE'. So, that means they're only a threat to that percentage of the community made up by children. Nicely crafted claim, although still pure bullshit.

Anonymous said...


What is being glossed over is the reason the Supreme Court upped the ante. Skinner had four previous disciplinary actions taken against him. That's probably four more than most of the trial court judges in this state and certainly four more than acceptable. Interestingly enough, one of the previous violations involved him acting on a case after he recused himself. In other words, he did the same thing again.

It's terrible what happened to the children in this case and made even worse that the perp apparently was not seriously punished. But these are separate cases. The Supreme Court is not reviewing the sentence in the disbarred lawyer's case. They're reviewing the actions of someone who failed to follow their oath of office. Again...

Nobody glossing over nothin'.

seems to me the reason that the supreme court changed the names in its opinion is because the underlying case was a youth court case, which by statute is confidential and nto to be disclosed without order form the youth court. it is a violation of the youth court act (sect. 43-21-267)to disclose the identities of the parties and victims in the youth court case. the opinion arose out of a complaint filed for the judge's conduct in a youth court case, not the criminal case. as such, the names of the parties should have been changed in order to protect the identity of the children who wer einvolved in the youth court case.

The underlying case was in circuit court.

Not excusing Skinner's past for one bit. He broke the law in this case. He recused himself and should have stayed out of it. However, I probably would have done the same thing and said screw it, they can punish me. Can't find the judge and this guy is running off with the kids? Not happening. Take that route, have to be prepared to face the consequences and it doesn't help if you have a past history of warnings from the court.

You say Skinner "can't find the judge" Kingfish? What is there in the record to support this? Did Skinner try to contact the correct judge before he acted?

well, I see why you don't practice. you have less than a first year law student's comprehension of the duties, responsiblities, and ethics of a judge. you continue to stir the emotions of the folks on here that aren't expected to understand the role of a judge as an impartial and fair magistrate.

Anonymous said...

Calling bullshit - get some FACTS before your post next time. They are available for anybody who wants to know the TRUTH. The US DOJ as well as the Canandian DOJ has studied this issue at great length and more than once. The FACT is that less than 1% of convicted sex offenders will commit a crime of ANY kind upon release from prison. Contrast this to the number of convicts whose FIRST arrest is for something OTHER than a sex offense who end up committing another felony then look further to see what percentage of those subsequent offenses are sex offenses. Bottom line - you and/or your children stand a much greater chance of being molested by a former armed robber than a former sex offender. These studies are also the source for my statement that MOST child molesters chose family members as their victims. The bogey man is not hiding in the bushes outside your front door. He's sitting in your den in plain sight. You want to keep your kids safe? Teach them how to tell you about Daddy or Uncle Joe instead of scaring them unnecessarily with your evil-is-everywhere fairy tales and wasting your effort scouring the sex-offender registry.

Kingfish said...

My reading comprehension skills are just fine. The point of this post was not to defend Skinner's actions or protest the suspension. He did recuse himself and did indeed violate the law. The purpose was to report on a child molester who was given a pass by the media, omitted from the bar directory, and never saw his crime reported in the media. The court changed his name when it didn't do so in his disbarment order. You need to work on your comprehension skills.

if he got permanently disbarred, wasn't he supposed to be removed from the directory? What about dead lawyers? Are you supposed to keep them in the directory too?

How do you figure that the underlying case is in circuit court? The opinion specifically states it was in youth court. Thus, the identities must remain anonymous.

The c-l story says this guy already had a warrant for his arrest from judge Kidd. Seems like judge skinner's warrant was totally superfluous. They could've arrested him without it.

The Mississippi Lawyer merely stated:

Wendel Shan Thompson of Clinton,
Mississippi. The Supreme Court of
Mississippi accepted the Irrevocable
Resignation of Mr. Thompson in accordance with Mississippi Rule of Discipline 10.5 in Cause No. 2011-BD-1185.

Never would know he was a convicted felon if you went by the Bar's publication.

Anonymous said...

Anony at 6:02 you might want to check your numbers. Most of the studies peg sex offender recidivism at 5% for another sex crime arrest. That is low compared to recidivism for other crimes but certainly not less that 1% as you quoted.

Anonymous said...

KF, if that was the purpose then you could have publicized the disbarment order and without adding the sick detail about the victim being his own kid(s). That's where you took it too far. I'm sure the kids have been through enough without your reminder to them and news flash to anyone who didn't know what they had been through. If a family member did something like that to one of my kids, I certainly wouldn't want the relationship publicized. That's just not fair to the kid.

Anonymous said...

Randywallace - studies acknowledge a difference in what is considered "an arrest". If traffic tickets are included in the count, the % goes up above 1%. Whether they are counted or not, the recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is STILL significantly less that that of other offenders. The chance of a convicted sex offender committing a second sex offense is still less than the chance that of a person who served time for some OTHER type of violent crime. And the chance of ANY child being molested by a complete stranger is about a billion to one. If a child is molested, the perpetrators will be, most likely, Daddy. You can parse and debate miniscule differences in item counts if you want but it wont change the bottom line.

Anonymous said...

I don't always agree with you, KF. But, I do on this issue. Skinner broke the law, that is a fact. But, the pedophile was protected because of who he worked for. Had he been a nobody, his picture and crimes would have been posted all over the local media - regardless if it were his own kids are not.

Is it true that this ass-wipe never did any time?

"Cooper"Kid said...

I was 8 years old when I found out what my dad did. I'm 13 now, and I wanted to see what information is open to the public, so I looked up my dad. I love my dad and I've been through years of family therapy. I think that people should mind their own business, because it does no good get worked up about something you just can't change. My dad went to jail a while back as you would know, but my mother was also arrested as well and right in front of me as well. One day my mom let me stay home from school, and this was after I was informed of what my dad did. Two of my sisters and I went with my mom to see her therapist. When we came home, we went inside and a blue car drove up. It was like the Blueberry from psych, so my two sisters when up to it to take a picture and then a police car drove up and they ran inside. My mom was arrested and my sisters and I were taken to DHS. I didn't know what was going on. My mother was unjustly arrested, because Judge Skinner suspected she had something to do with my father's crime. She was not involved. I was in a safe home with 5 of my siblings. I don't know why they call it a safe home, because it was pretty frightening in my opinion. In fact a pregnant girl was arrested during our stay, but of course I was in the creepy therapists office during these events. My youngest sister was so little and she of us ll has had a ruff childhood. My point of this story is that nobody here should judge me, my family, or anything that you just don't know about. I'm kind of messed up from my experience, sometimes my friends ask about it and it's really hard and it hurts to see all of this that people write about it. I know that people write about this stuff as a job, but it's a bunch of gossip. All of you that read this should go get a life of your own enstead of fussing about mine. Just stop.

As a realtor and mother, I believe everybody has a right to know sex offenders are in their neighborhood. The home values in the neighborhood go down tremendously the minute the sex offender moves in. Nobody wants to live by a sex offender and I would feel terrible if I tried to sell a home near a sex offender to a client family. And, as a mother, I definitely want to know where sex offenders live. If a man abuses his own child, I would worry he may abuse mine if he/she had a chance. You just can't take that risk. So it's not gossip, just facts that need to be addressed. Feel very sorry for this offender's and all sex offender's children. It's just disgusting.

You know what I am one of the children in the thompson family and it is sad to see you all so interested in other people's business like back off I think changing the names was a kind thing to do because it protected the kid who WEREN'T 18 yet and there were 6 kids under 18 at the time also my dad did something terrible but I don't want your pity ms.

I recently moved to the neighborhood where this guy lives. Hate I didn't know about him before moving in. I cannot believe he isn't in jail, instead of running up and down the streets around the neighborhood with his daughters. Apparently he has a young little girland this just scares us that he is allowed to be around her. Anybody found guilty of what he did should not be allowed to be out in the public, much less around his daughters. And, how sickening that his wife is still with him supporting him after what he did. How disgusting.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
