Judge's Courtroom Poster Draws Fire From ACLU

MANSFIELD, Ohio — The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday called for a judge to face charges for keeping a poster of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.

In June 2005, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ordered Richland County Common Pleas Court Judge James DeWeese to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom.

On Thursday, the commandments could still be found in DeWeese's courtroom, but in another version, 10TV's John Fortney reported.

Framed on one side of the judge's courtroom was the Bill of Rights. On the opposite wall was a poster titled, 'Philosophies of Law and Conflict,' which pits the Ten Commandments against seven moral relatives.
