IN Father loses children for pointing out illegal court practices.

Wasn't directed at me but since I'm reading the appeal it was three counts of intimidation and one count of attempted obstruction of justice.

It is a lengthy convoluted story and the appeal does really not make the defendant look very bright.
Among other things he posted the Judges home address and urged people to write to the Judges wife for some reason.

And to be clear the Judge that convicted him was not the Judge he was having all the issues with. So its not a case of the guy arguing with a Judge and that same Judge put him in jail which is somewhat how I took it from the thread title.

Correct. The initial judge recused himself after ex parte communications were divulged. The judges home address was publicly available on the county's website. The wife of the second judge sits on the judiciary review board for the county. Go figure.

From the article...

The State of Indiana, by grand jury, has indicted the defendant with Count I,
Intimidation, a Class "A" Misdemeanor, Count II, Intimidation of a Judge, a Class "D" Felony, Count III, Intimidation, a Class "A" Misdemeanor, Count IV,
Attempt to Commit Obstruction of Justice, a Class "D" Felony.

Jury convicted on these four, and not guilty of a fifth.

What article? The first one doesn't have it. And the second is not a reputable enough source IMO.

If I have to go to a link in the article to read an appeal for the conviction in order to get the actual charges, the article is crap. I believe they deliberately left out the charges so they could more easily make the claim that the innocent protestations of meek man were used to railroad him to jail. I'm just surprised they didn't point fingers at the wife for being complicit as well.

They are spelled out in the appeal. If you click the link, a pdf will open containing the convictions.

The way I read this is that there are 3 judges involved.

The first in the divorce hearing. Humphrey who replaced him. And the judge sitting at Brewington's criminal trial.

So is the "second" judge Humphrey or the judge sitting at the criminal trial in your statement? I just want to make sure I'm clear.

Taul was forced to recuse himself, the first in the divorce hearing.
