Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange said Thursday that suspended Municipal Court Judge Lester Hayes had been “disadvantaged” by his suspension from the bench for locking up indigent defendants, which was one reason the City of Montgomery signed Hayes to a consulting contract.

“He couldn’t work as a judge, he couldn’t work as an attorney – he was really disadvantaged in that way,” Strange said. “So, we thought we could give him an opportunity to help us with some of our legal work.”

Strange and the city have provided Hayes with a $6,500-per-month contract to work with the city’s legal division – although, not as an attorney, Strange noted several times – and to aid Montgomery’s office of City Investigations, which investigates complaints against police officers.
