Judge William Adams Wont be Charged for Beating by: Marcella Marquez

      William Adams, a Texas family Judge who was videotaped by his daughter who he viscously beat won’t be facing criminal charges due to the 5 year statues of limitations. Hillary Adams 23, posted the 8 minute video on YouTube October 27, and it has over 5,821,939 views.  The 7 year old  video shows her father savagely lashing her with a belt, for downloading music and games. That were not available for legal purchase at the time. What makes matters worse is that Hillary has a disability called ataxic cerebral palsy form birth (damage in the cerebellum/brain). When asked why she waited 7 years to show the video, she responds that she was scared to do it while she lived under Adam’s roof. The judge’s wife is also seen in the video, what is surprising is that she does nothing about the situation and actually takes part in the beating. Hillary justifies this by saying (on the video description) that her mother “was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video… The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist.” Hillary also adds “Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgment as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgment" is a giant farce.”  William Adams 51, then responded with a three page statement, in which he claims “his daughter posted the clip to get back at him for telling her he would be reducing the amount of financial support he gives her and taking away her Mercedes,” (huffingtonpost.com). There was no apology in said statement, but he did tell television station KZTV  that the video "looks worse than it is, that he had already apologized to his daughter and that he was just disciplining his child for stealing,” (huffingtonpost.com) .  But while on the “Today” show Hillary said her father “regularly beat her for a period of time. has repeatedly said she didn't post the clip to spite her father, and that she hopes it forces him to seek help,” Hallie Adams also “blamed her ex-husband's bouts of violence on an "addiction." She called it a "family secret," but declined to elaborate,” (huffingtonpost.com). Currently Judge Williams is being investigated by the state's judicial conduct commission and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. This is because all though Hillary is an adult, her10 year old sister could be at risk.
