Judge Guy was talking to Sgt. Wendell Robinson of the Police Homicide Section about the forthcoming trial of the codefendants and revealed how he had met Miss Bonnie in a bar and thereafter spent the night with her. He went on to say that “she was a foxy little thing” and “better than your average piece of ass.”

Sgt. Robinson was quite surprised and chagrined to hear a judge boasting of his sexual participation with a former criminal defendant. As a result, Robinson prepared a memorandum about the incident which he forwarded to his superiors.

The respondent learned of this memorandum and exhibited his vindictiveness by improper and heavy-handed efforts to impair Robinson’s credibility, referring to Sgt. Robinson before witnesses as “a suck-ass Uncle Tom trying to pass for Caucasian because he’s light skinned.”

Attorney Carolyn Wilder testified to the events in People v. Cedric Williams. The charges in this preliminary examination held June 19, were “second-degree criminal sexual conduct and simple assault,” and Ms. Wilder, counsel for the defense, had stated clearly that her client would go to trial before entering a reduced plea. However, the respondent, Judge Guy, requested the defendant and his counsel to approach the bench, where he stated that if the defendant pled guilty to the lesser charge of assault and battery-a misdemeanor-he would be placed on probation and that would be the end of it.

“I’m street, just like you are,” the judge said to the defendant, “and your attorney either doesn’t have her shit together or your best interests at heart.” Whereupon he sent the defendant and Ms. Wilder out into the hall to “talk the matter over.”

When they returned to the bench and Ms. Wilder still insisted on a trial, Judge Guy said to the defendant, “Look, you better take this plea or your motherfucking ass is dead.” When Ms. Wilder informed the bench that her client would, under no circumstances, plead to the lesser charge, Judge Guy berated the defense counsel, threatened her with contempt and stated: “I see now how you operate. You want your own client to be convicted… obviously pissed off because a black man got a little white pussy in this case.”
