I know that on 09/10/97 the Sixth Circuit Court gave Lanier 30 days to
surrender or they would dismiss his appeal with prejudice. This is
the last item I have been able to find. Did he surrender??
Thanks

Hello Ira,
Being here in Nashville I am knowledgeable about Ole Judge Lanier.
No, he did not surrender, he was arrested by the Mexican police on the way to
pick up his mail at the post office.
Judge Lanier was using the name, "Aubrey Thompson". He was on the way to the
post office to pick up a package which contained all sorts of empty ID cards
that he was going to officially fill in with his new name.
Officials here are saying Lanier wasn't too bright. Seems he communicated with
old buddies in Dyersburg and the FBI had surveilance in place . Additionally
ole Romeo Lanier had put a personal ad in the paper, stating he was a
financially secure, etc, etc male seeking a female 35-38. He pretended to be a
rich Texas Cattle Rancher.
Well Anyways, Lanier, who is in now in prision, called the local paper in
Memphis COLLECT complaining about the deplorable conditions of the jail,
saying he didn't belong there and would probably die in jail. Poor Baby.
Regards, gini marie

Gimarie330-
Thanks for the update on that
rapist scumbag David Lanier.
I read the book, and I only wish he was in a
Tennessee Prison, instead of Federal custody.
Any idea of which Fed Pen he is in?
I hope it's Marion.

Hello BB Cadillae,
You are welcome for the upate on rapist David Lanier.
On October 14,1997, Lanier was being held in the Mero Correctional Center in
California, I am not sure if they have moved him yet.
I do know that Tennessee has the option of charging Lanier for jumping bail,
and he could face another five years to go along with his current 25 yr.
sentence.
I don't think he is in a very swell place, according to his phone call to the
editor. He complained he didn't deserve to be in such a criminal place and
that he would probably be killed by one of these hardened jail inmates.
I understand that he is writing a book claiming that he was the victim of
political enemies, vengeful women and overzealous prosecutors.
For those who aren't aware of Judge Lanier, here is a capsule summary.
Lanier, 62, was convicted in 1992 of sexually assaulting five women at his
courthouse in Dyersburg, TN. His victims had legal matters before him or
worked at the courthouse.
NO STATE charges were filed against Lanier, whose BROTHER was the local
PROSECUTOR, so the federal government charged him with civil rights
violations.
Lanier was convicted under an 1874 law generally used to prosecute police
officers, prison guards and others who have direct custody of their victims.
The 6th Circuit overturned Lanier's conviction last year, but the Supreme Court
in March ordered the appeals court to reconsider, and the 6th Circuit ordered
Lanier back to jail on Aug.22. After he failed to surrender, his appeal
before the court has since been thrown out.

I just finished reading the book about the case... which left it at the
point where the conviction was overturned and he was out on bond. Was
the conviction then reaffirmed or what?

Lanier is in prison right now for federal civil rights violations. He'll probably die in prison.

Per the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, Inmate Lookup [a],
there are three David Laniers who have been / are guests/

The apparent match is to "David Lanier" (no middle name
in the lookup, unlike the other two). He's listed as
being a white male, age 86, and released 03/13/2018

https://www.jstor.org/stable/27977009 the Judge's Dad was a Democratic party boss as well as his brother being the county prosecutor. He raped 5 women two were secretaries. Their was also much sexual harassment by Mr. Lanier.

https://www.change.org/p/helping-david-lanier Ten years ago after he had served 19 years in prison for various rapes this petition to release the convicted criminal Mr. Lanier only mustered 41 signatures.

https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/Abuse-of-Power-David-W-Lanier the convicted rapist Mr. Lanier after spending years saying the women and F.B.I. conspired against him changed his tune to feeling sorry for his victims and whining how long his sentence was and how harsh the prison environment. The convicted rapist was scheduled to be released in 2018.

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/tennessee-judge_david-lanier/1725282/#edition=6219621 The rapist wrote a book published in 1996 it doesn't sell well :-)

http://womenofachievement.org/heroism/sandy-sanders-and-patty-wallace/ these women went public about the rapist Lanier's crime against them.

The hypocrite Judge did serious, hard time but rapists should be executed.

I'm sure you'd like to see all the guys on your cell block executed
for raping you. You probably blame the experience for your sexual
'confusion'. You may be confused Greg, but the rest of us aren't; you
are a certifiable homosexual.

You are a gibbering moron who posts off-topic. You are a scared, useless, old man a racist a nazi a failed immigrant. Never been raped obviously you have posted online your love and admiration for convicted rapists and pedophiles and fraudsters. I obviously am not in any sort of lock up you doddering fool. Nothing confused about my sexuality unlike you fat freek lover and fag hag. You are bitter and envious. Wave your puny fist at the computer monitor just like Joe Mulligan used to do at the Versacold loading dock before he was fired for selling pot at work.
