Aransas County Judge who beat daughter is running for re-election

This man has no shame. He's a republican.

Most of you at home probably remember Judge William Adams. He's an Aransas County Judge who was caught on tape, beating his teenage daughter with a belt.

Now, he's running for re-election, and there's an online movement to oppose the campaign, and create billboards referencing the beating incident.

His daughter is against him.

I couldn't get it out of my head for hours after seeing it. I believe the judge's wife held the daughter down as well.

The beating is disgusting. While I do not and cannot defend the judge, I also do not defend the daughter. She waited years to reveal the tape and then apparently did release it when he took back her Mercedes because she would not go to college.
