Texas judge gives man a choice: get married or go to jail

Post by **dbackjon** » Fri Aug 07, 2015 1:18 pm

A 20-year-old East Texas man jumped into a quickly arranged marriage after a judge told him last month he had a choice of getting hitched or spending 15 days in jail on an assault charge.

According to court documents obtained on Friday, Smith County Judge Randall Rogers gave the option to Josten Bundy, of Tyler, Texas, who was arrested in March on a charge of assault causing bodily injury, a misdemeanor. Bundy had gotten into a fight with the ex-boyfriend of his then girlfriend and now wife.

The judge said he would grant probation if Bundy married his 19-year-old girlfriend, Elizabeth Jaynes, within 30 days, write Bible verses and attend counseling. If he declined, he would go to jail, according to a transcript of the proceedings obtained by Tyler TV broadcaster KLTV.

This morning, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio praised the judge, promising to appoint him to the SCOTUS if elected President.

When is he allowed to seek an annulment..?
Because why would somebody 20 and 19 know anything about marriage..?
This judges buffoonery is so Dark Ages it's almost laughable
and of course the Politicians jump on it - they're sock puppets

Can you legally force a person to enter into something like a marriage?

And 15 days? Pfft. 15 days is nothing compared to a marriage.

My question was rhetorical.

Mine was "I'm stuck in a basement in St. Louis Pervie".

No, they can't. They can't tell you to join the Army to stay out of jail either.

You call that a choice?

Its always funny to watch some badass go from 100mph to a dead stop though. He's probably out looking for a washing machine right now...
