Alamo Seeks New Trial Because of Sentencing Judge's Religious Comments

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday's Texarkana Gazette reports that self-proclaimed prophet and church leader Tony Alamo last week filed a motion for a new trial, arguing that the sentencing judge "imposed his own sense of religiosity" in sentencing Alamo to 175 year prison on Mann Act charges. Alamo was convicted last year of taking young girls across state lines for sex. In sentencing Alamo, Judge Harry F. Barnes told him: "Mr. Alamo, one day you will face a higher and a greater judge than me. May he have mercy on your soul." (See prior posting.)
