Contempt Petition Against Judge For Poster Dismissed

According to a release by the American Center for Law and Justice, an Ohio federal district judge has dismissed a contempt motion brought by the ACLU against Richland County (OH) Judge James DeWeese. (See prior posting.) The court found that the "Philosophies of Law In Conflict" poster that Judge DeWeese has posted in his courtroom is significantly different from the Ten Commandments display ordered removed by the federal court in 2002.
