This case is VERY disheartning!!!! I am sorry this judge sits here in Fayette County. At this rate maybe the next criminal in front of him will be handed a sentance of writing 1000 "I will not..." sentances. Get some testicular fortitude behind you Judge Floyd!

I think that Bill O'Reilly would like to hear about our Vermont-friendly judge. How disgusting that this man is free to prey on as many children as he can before he has to return to court. Maybe he'll be "lucky" this time and actually get all he's dreaming of! SICK!

Who appointed this judge? If he's elected, we should make sure that he's not re-elected. He can then move to Vermont where he's in like company.

I can only wonder what his sentence will be -- house arrest with unlimited computer time?!!

** Thanks PTC Police for doing your job. **

This is a serious issue that the public in Fayette County needs to know. Having lived in many places in the USA I have found that crime came and stayed in a community when you had judges that decided not to be tough or thought setting high bonds on really evil people were not necessary. Judge Floyd is the prime example of what we DON'T need in this county. Police are speaking out about what he did, the DA is speaking about what he did, the TV stations are speaking about what he did, and you can find his name in all types of anti crime web sites on the net. How can he be so stupid with all the public out cry against child predators be so self serving when setting a low bond with no conditions ? Well I will tell you.

First he is a defense attorney. That is right, as his real job is getting criminals off the hook when they are arrested. He has even said his real job is a defense attorney and his part time work is judge. Now does that sound like the kind of guy we need protecting our county or children ? I say NO NO NO !!!!! I also understand from some inside friends in law enforccement that some Superior Court Judges have stated asking questions about the low bonds he is setting on really dangerous and bad criminals. I have also been told he has it in for both the DA's office and local police departments that he has to fight with when he is doing his "REAL JOB" as a defense attorney. I was even told he is working to become a full time judge in the future. Please save us if he ever gets that opportunity.

Now what can we do ? We can keep our mouths shut and do nothing and just let him continue to break down that security fence we have against criminals in Fayette County, or we can show him the door and put someone in there that will protect us from evil and wicked suspects like Mr. Farr.

Ask any law enforcement officer about this judge and they will tell you he is a joke. He could care less about what happens because every time he sits on the bench and gives low bonds, let's people out of jail that need to be in there, or makes fun of our law enforcement community or DA's office, is doing nothing but letting all the criminals that appear before him as a Judge, know that he is in the defense business. His actions tell criminals the next time they get in trouble just come knocking on his lawyer's office door and he will accept their money to defend them.

I moved here because Fayette Judges were tough on crime, it is sad to say we now have one that is making us look more like Clayton and Fulton every day he sits on the bench.

There is NO WAY he is getting bonded out by anyone that knows him. Restrictions are not relevant when he'll be sitting there until he's tried and convicted.

Secondly, the is no reason whatsoever for any preferential treatment...he doesn't know anyone in the area except for the daughter and her children that he lived with. (There were no improprieties involved) She had no knowledge of his activities and this has devastated them. It was her home that was raided and ransacked not his. She was the one pulled over in traffic and a search warrant shoved in her face on her way to work one morning. It was her children who were pulled out of class and questioned by police officers. It's been tough enough on the entire family - now this firestorm is brewing. As far as I am concerned, he's gotten off way too easy in all of this. He's the one sitting in a cell. He's not the one having to contend with the public humiliation of someone elses actions.

I do know, while not much comfort at all, at least it was a police officer and not a child that was involved. It's sickening to thing of what wasn't caught.

He is where he belongs and will continue to stay there as long as this judge does his job. If he can't then I'd say there definitely needs to be another judge appointed.

Isn't this what it is about? Most of them clued in by other localities anyway.

Aren't all of these unenforcible restriction just to make the public feel better. You ain't gonna know whether he sees kids, goes on the internet, etc., or not, anyway.
$25,000 bond may be low, I don't really know. That means he has to find someone who trusts him enough to post $2500 dollars. (The PTC police chief acted like he should be hung immediately for talking dirty to his female officer on the net). She doesn't have to do it.
I'm afraid this is another black/white thing, unfortunately.
How many 12-13 year old girls have been picked up by predators here anyway? Doesn't make the papers. Keep the guy in jail a month or so and then try him. All the evidence is there isn't it?

This is a travesty!

We all like him now? I haven't really understood his bashing anymore than Clayton Sheriff Hill. To open myself up once again...Maybe the Judge saw that the PTCPD is trolling in adult fantasy chatrooms. I watch Dateline and can't believe these guys....'specially the few that are caught twice. There has to be more glory & more fish in an "Adult" chatroom. The suicide DA (56 y/o) in TX was even pretending to be a hunk college kid. I would feel more "protected" & money well spent if they were lurking in AOL / myspace CHILDREN places. One day, one of the dreaded ponytail lawyers (Bruce was a under-grad classmate) will figure the angle and argument to bust this police scam.
The end point is, "Why do YOUR children need protecting from strangers luring them to the mall or inviting strangers over when you aren't home to jump in the hot tub? What's lacking in your HOUSE?"

Are you serious? This Farr guy - hopefully no relation to the sainted Farr family in PTC - should be locked up without a key and bond should not even be offered. Is this Floyd guy an elected judge? If so, let's un-elect him next time. This is not how I want my judge to behave.

Thank you Chief Murray for letting the public know about this Judge and his failure to protect the safety of our children in this county. Please continue to stand fast in your efforts to continue to go after and arrest these bottom feeders. I pray each night that your undercover agent finds and puts in prison these evil people. Keep up your work letting the public know when as judge like Floyd puts his defense minded attitude before his duty to protect the public. Recall him now and let all the other Judges know we are not going to let them do as they please, when they please.

One question: can the citizns of this county sue floyd if this farr pervert commits another crime?

I want my pony-tail lawyer. I have been harmed and damaged by the easy way this criminal got off. I don't feel safe in this county because of the easy way this pervert got off. This has severly damaged my quality of life......my sense of security...my feeling of safety....at home, work, and while shopping in our wounty.

Hey floyd.....you liberal fool.....you work for US..the taxpayers.....this is Fayette County, not dekalb, or clayton...got it?? We hate crime here. Snap out of it or resign, you worthless, worthless idiot.

I have a pretty good feeling that this guy is connected somehow to law enforcement, government, has money or friends in high places to get this special treatment. Lets keep an eye on this. Could be something bill o'reilly might be interested in.

As far as I'm concerned, Floyd just enabled this creep to victimize again. It is his responsibility to ensure that the proper restrictions are placed on the accused in an attempt to prevent further risk to the public.

Instead of trying to get future clients, Floyd should have taken the proper precautions and imposed a restriction on talking dirty to children on the internet. Instead, he tries to make a statement to the public about how he feels about internet predators. Well Chuck, I heard your message and I will remember this on election day. This was not the time to be a politician, this was the time to do what was in the best interest of the public.

When is this guy up for re-election and who is running against him?
