Former Alabama Judge Dan King Indicted on Theft Charge

Former Jefferson County Bessemer Cutoff Circuit Court Judge Dan King has been charged with theft in Calhoun County.

King was indicted by a Calhoun County grand jury earlier this month on the theft of property first degree charge stemming from theft of money from a law firm.

The March 4 indictment states that King, sometime between April 1, 2011 and Feb. 25, 2013, knowingly obtained, "by deception", control over more than $2,500 that was the property of the law firm Stewart & Stewart P.C. The exact amount of money was unknown to the grand jury, according to the indictment.

No other details were available.

There are so many articles in the press about judges' wrongdoing, it would seem it's time for the judicial system to take a look at judicial immunity and consider changing it.
