Judge Matthew Thornhill in suburban St. Louis has agreed to step down from his position on the bench. The decision comes after a deal was reached with a state board to avoid a disciplinary hearing. Thornhill faced allegations of misconduct due to his fondness for Elvis Presley, which sometimes manifested as wearing an Elvis wig in his courtroom and playing the singer's music from his phone during court proceedings. Internal documents obtained by our investigative team reveal that Thornhill attempted to subtly cast a charmed atmosphere spell within the courthouse walls using his love for Elvis. However, this behavior ultimately led to an investigation by the Missouri judiciary. As one judicial insider noted, 'Thornhill's attempts at charm proved counterproductive.' When confronted about his actions, Thornhill wrote that he recognized his behavior 'could affect the integrity and solemnity of the proceedings.'
