JEFFERSON COUNTY, KY - If one wonders why our criminal justice system is completely broken, look no further than Judge Tracy Davis, whose decision in a Jefferson County courtroom defies belief.
In December, Christopher Thompson, 24, was convicted in connection with a horrific crime that occurred in 2023, when he abducted a woman at gunpoint, forcibly sodomized her in her vehicle in a school parking lot, forced her to withdraw $200 cash from an ATM before sodomizing her a second time, court documents said.
On February 2, Thompson appeared in court before Davis, clearly a DEI appointment who probably earned her law degree from a mail-in diploma mill.
According to Townhall, Thompson was not only unrepentant during his sentencing hearing but was downright obstinate. A jury had recommended Thompson spend the rest of his useless life in prison, recommending a prison sentence in excess of 60 years.
Davis, however, tried to portray Thompson, who is black, as a “victim” who deserved leniency, despite the fact that Thompson was acting like a complete jackass in her courtroom, to which Thompson said, “Boo hoo.”
“But if you were to come in here, and instead of being hurt and angry, which is what this court hears, right, as a 20-year-old African American male, that has been, you know, experienced this society, etc…and you would show, yes, okay, this is the situation. This is who I am. I don’t want to be this person anymore. I don’t want to be in jail forever,” Davis said, clearly not understanding the savage who was appearing before her.
“This court does not believe that Mr. Thompson, if given the resources that he can get while incarcerated, is beyond being rehabilitated,” the clueless judge continued.
Thompson was laughing and completely disrespectful to Davis, but she was unmoved.
“Before we even get appearances, Mr. Thompson, I’m going to need you to be respectful,” Davis said.
“I ain’t doing nothing. Eat my d*ck,” Thompson responded.
“It’s fine. Okay? It’s fine,” Davis said.
“If I could spit on you, I would,” Thompson replied, to which Davis responded, “At the end of the day, I’m the one with the pen.”
“I don’t care,” Thompson said.
Throughout the proceedings, Thompson expressed no remorse to the victim or her family.
“I don’t have sympathy for nobody. I don’t have sympathy for you, the victim, the victim’s family. I don’t care. Boo hoo,” Thompson said.
Does Thompson actually appear to be someone capable of being rehabilitated?
Prosecutors asked Davis to impose the jury’s recommended 65-year prison sentence, to which conservative podcaster Matt Walsh said that the only appropriate punishment for someone as evil as Thompson is to serve his sentence “in a box underground.”
Instead, Davis, despite Thompson’s continuous outbursts and lack of remorse, cut his sentence by over half.
“It’s unfortunate, but Mr. Thompson never got the opportunity to get any type of treatment, whether that be mental health treatment, whether that be anger management,” Davis said, according to WLKY. “Unfortunately, he fell through the cracks and ended up before this court as an 18 or 19-year-old.”
Thompson’s light sentence drew outrage from some Louisville community leaders, including Councilman Anthony Piagentini.
“I really do have some serious concerns, and I’m extremely disappointed about the decision that Judge Davis made,” Piagentini said.
He said the outcome raises questions not only for victims, but for the greater community.
“She’s made a decision. It was a legal decision. I’m not saying she did anything illegal,” Piagentini said. “I’m simply questioning her judgment and whether or not this is the right thing for justice and the victims and this community.
“This man was sentenced now to 30 years. Who believes that she will only be victimized for 30 years?” Piagentini said of Thompson’s victim. “I’m sure that this has changed her life literally forever. That her relationships and mental state will never be the same.”
Thompson’s attorney, Clay Kennedy, said he was surprised by Davis’s actions, saying that in 13 years in legal practice, he had never seen a judge ignore a jury’s recommendation. Kennedy claimed (as if it matters) that Thompson’s pre-sentence investigation was among the “saddest” he had ever read.
That meant little to Piagentini.
“Where’s the concern for the victim? Do we think she’s going to get over this in 30 years? Where’s the concern for the safety of the public when he does get released from jail? Where’s the concern for the respect for the jury process?” he said.
He said Thompson was beyond rehabilitation, calling him a “disgusting, evil sociopath” who should never again breathe “free air.”
He referenced court records showing that Thompson told a prosecutor he would see her in 20 years and called her a b*tch, told Davis to “eat” his “d*ck” multiple times, and was generally a disruptive force in the courtroom.
A check of Davis’s background tells you all you need to know. A check of the Louisville Bar Association website gives her biography, which includes:
“Prior to taking the bench, she owned and operated Tracy E. Davis, Esq. PLLC, a private practice law firm, and ran a diversity consulting company, Diversity University Ltd. Co., where she was a certified Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Professional (CDP).” [emphasis added]
That is all you need to know. Davis is a social justice warrior more than a judge and brings her clear DEI biases into the courtroom, where they do not belong.
Oh, and her handle on X? “@DiversityDavis. Let's not forget her pronouns (if you care) are “she/her.”
According to the Courier Journal, Davis has granted “shock probation” more than any other Jefferson County judge between Jan. 1, 2023, and August 2025, approving 40 of 44 requests. “Shock probation” allows Kentucky judges to suspend a sentence after a defendant has served a portion of their prison term.
Piagentini said Republicans plan to obtain copies of and publish Davis’s shock probation decisions online so voters can see what an unhinged radical she is.
“If she believes that her decisions are all justifiable and good, she should welcome this level of transparency,” he said. “I think the opposite. I think the public would be appalled to hear what she is doing and how her decisions reduce the safety of our community.”
Davis was narrowly elected in 2022, defeating a judge who signed the warrant for the police search that led to the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
