A Tennessee judge’s text messages tell the tale in a federal indictment accusing him of trading justice for sex.
Even more serious for Nashville Judge Cason Moreland, 59, is the accusation that he attempted to thwart the investigation by paying one of the women to recant her story. Moreland was arrested Tuesday on charges of bribery and witness tampering. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Brown with chains on his legs and criminal defense attorney Peter Strianse of Tune Entrekin White at his side. Strianse could not be reached for comment.
