Judge James Caputo
The rabbit hole in Tulsa just goes deeper and deeper every day.
Yesterday Judge James Caputo, who was assigned to the manslaughter case of Tulsa Deputy Bob Bates in the shooting death of 44-year-old Eric Harris, submitted paperwork stating that he too had been a deputy sheriff in Tulsa. In addition to that, he admitted that his daughter works for the Tulsa Sheriff's Office and that he has a 23-year history with Sheriff Stanley Glanz.
While he claims to be considering recusing himself, he has not done so yet.
With every day that passes we learn more and more about just how complicated and corrupt the justice system truly is in Tulsa. Check out the Caputo's "judicial disclosures" that were filed in the case below the fold.
