Imagine being the judge in court Monday morning. Yowsers.
Tampa Bay Times article does not reference Gardner's family connections in the title. First mention is in the 2nd paragraph.
I see what you did there 😏
Apples from a rotten tree
They met at the 1:43 am! Wow. He may get a lesson in the new black math: how many times does 57 go into 16? 10 years.
Yes they can be in the Clinton and Biden hall of shame.
Stacey Abrams’ sister——Leslie Abrams Gardner is a federal judge——appointed by Barack Obama and was on Joe Biden’s shortlist of nominees for the Supreme Court.
Jimmie Gardner has been arrested in Florida on charges of human trafficking, battery and lewd or lascivious touching of a minor, according to the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit.
Gardner, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1984, was wrongly convicted in the 1987 sexual assault of two women in West Virginia. He was exonerated in 2016 and released from prison 27 years after his wrongful conviction.
Two years later, he married Stacy Abram’s sister, Georgia Federal Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner.
Gardner currently lives in Georgia and works as a motivational speaker and emotional intelligence trainer for students and people who were formerly incarcerated.

Saturday morning, Gardner appeared before a judge for his first appearance, where he was given a total bond of $500,000.
Also in attendance was Gardner’s wife (the judge).
Yikes. She’s gonna stand by her man. And come up with the bail! Can’t imagine the homecoming was much fun.
Thanks for the update.
Gardner, who grew up Baptist, found Islam while in prison. In 1994, he took the shahada and declared his faith in Islam.
“That’s what helped me — the transition from unconsciousness to consciousness,” he said. “I credit my faith in Allah. I asked Allah back in 1995 to please bless me with the opportunity to be capable of being a voice for the voiceless, to give me the microphone. I wanted to speak, because I couldn’t get heard.”
Yikes.........
Oh, they’re going to hear him now. Oh yes they will.
LOL
