Drug Dealing Alabama Judge's Son, Alex Rochester, Walks Free
Last year I brought my readers the story of John Alexander Rochester who is the son of hanging Judge John Rochester of Alabama's 41st Circuit Court.
To refresh everyone's memory young Mr. Alex Rochester was busted in the Ashland City Park on March 1, 2008 and charged with trafficking drugs. The drugs he was charged with trafficking are as follows; Cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, ecstacy, meth and xanax.
The last we heard Alex Rochester had been ferried away, under his mothers skirts, to a posh treatment center called The Arbor where he was to remain for a year. Young Rochester's MySpace page states that he is currently in college.
Yesterday I was able to come by John Alexander Rochester's case file and, I hate to tell you, but what I predicted would happen has happened. No surprise really. Regular working folks kids go to prison for years and years on charges like this. The Judge's son gets off scot free.
John Alexander Rochester was allowed to plea all of the trafficking charges down to simple possession charges and he received five years probation. He is walking around free. The arrest report states that he and his friend were passed out at the Ashland City Park at 12:56 a.m. The arresting officer smelled marijuana and conducted a search. While Alex Rochester was attempting to pull his passport out of his pocket a pipe fell out. After the massive amounts of drugs were found Alex Rochester stated according to the police report that "He had bought the drugs in Atlanta and that he would give up the name of the supplier if the fed's would take considerable time off his sentence." Alex Rochester already had two warrants out for his arrest at the time of this arrest. Apparently Daddy never taught him to keep his mouth shut when the cops show up because Alex Rochester squealed like a little pig.
Here is what the case file says about the amount of drugs he was arrested with. You better sit down.
1. Two baggies, envelope, one vial, crack cocaine, powder cocaine Total: 32 grams (1 ounce give or take) 2. 1 gallon bag containing marijuana 3. 5 sandwich baggies containing marijuana. 4 were corners of bags packaged for resale. 4. 1100 Extacy pills in 11 baggies 5. 2 straws, 2 rolled up dollar bills and two pipes. 6. 26 Xanax pills
I'd bet my right arm that NEVER in the history of Alabama has anyone caught with that amount of drugs been allowed to plea down trafficking charges (clearly he was trafficking) to simple possession. And remember...all of those charges carried an additional 3 year mandatory minimum because the arrest occurred withing three miles of a school, church, day care center and public housing facilities. Hell, it happened in the Ashland City Park where all the little children play on the mini-monster trucks and monkey bars. I also wonder how many people are in jail or prison because they bought drugs from Alex Rochester and got caught?
Anyone else would have had bonds in the millions of dollars, had their face plastered all over the front page of the newspaper and would be serving decades in an Alabama prison. In this case, because Alex Rochester's daddy is a judge, he is treated like the fortunate son, given a slap on the wrist and set free. The Clay Times Journal printed only the police blotter when he was arrested and there has to date been absolutely no additional coverage of this major story in the paper.
The court system and the media have failed the citizens of those counties and really all the citizens of the State of Alabama. We expect fairness in our judicial system. Clearly our system has been subverted and the rules thrown out the window because it was a judge's son caught red handed TRAFFICKING HUGE AMOUNTS OF DRUGS.
However, I have a plan to make sure the majority of the citizens of Clay County and Coosa County are made aware of what has happened. I won't say what that plan is because I want it to be a really nasty surprise for the Rochester family. Don't want to spoil the anticipation for them.

I just don't get how this is possible.
Aren't judges bound by previous precedent? How can a judge send someone to jail for one situation (you would bet the judge has sent someone to prison for LESS), then when the same situation comes up the same judge lets them off no punishment?

wow...
how was he holding that much drugs on him while he was passed out in a park? doesnt make sense
i don't think we should be pissed he got off free... we do have the right to be very angry at the system because your right...normal kids with working class folks wouldnt of have it so easy. just think about how many poor people, mostly of poverty and belonging to a minority, all these people get put away FAST and LONG. **cough**cough**institutions of socilization's means of means of disenfranchising a minority group***
either way we should be just be pissed at the system just because some of us dont have it so easy doesn't mean that ANY ONE should go to jail for drugs (unless they are a rapist / murderer you get the picture)

it's far less cool that a spoiled brat rich kid got grounded for all the weight he had, as was said, anyone else would be seeing years and $$$ I wonder if his father was the trial judge, I'm of the belief that both the judge and the prosecutor should be removed and disbarred

Oh, I'm with you on that. The punishment does not fit the crime for either lawbreaker.
I hope they both get disbarred. If anyone ever asks for proof that those born with a silver spoon in their mouths make out better than the rest of us, this is it. Totally bending the law to their own ends.

I cant stand it when celebrities get off the hook as well, what the fuck do they do that makes them anymore important than your average joe?
It should be that the guy who is busting his ass building an office complex gets off, or someone who is a carpenter, someone who actually has a job that benefits society, not rich prick kids or fucking celebrities.
