I am following the trials and tribulations of Pastor Herman Lewis here on Deep Thoughts because he appears to be the worst sort of sanctimonious hypocrite. He earned the nick name Double-Life after allegedly going on a drug fueled bender a few weeks ago.
Lewis is suspected of barging his way into a Shari’s restaurant and trying to drag a waitress to a his loaner Chevy Corvette while sexually assaulting her in the process. He’s also accused of punching out a senior citizen who tried to stop the incident and then ramming a police car during a short chase that ended in his apprehension.
Now Lewis has completed a two-week mental evaluation and wants a special panel to assess his sanity. Of course, the story does not end here. Lewis was released on bond after his evaluation. He went back to his church where he told his congregation his actions were the result of a voodoo curse.
Herman Lewis has a long list of excuses:
- He claimed to lead a double-life filled with crack and prostitutes (for which there is ample evidence).
- He claimed to be God and above the authority of local police, and even above the authority of he presiding judge.
- He claimed mental illness (self-diagnosed).
- He claimed a voodoo curse (pulled out of his ass).
A psychiatrist can attest to his sanity. A special panel is simply another ego device. My guess is that he was released from the mental hospital because he was found sane. Now he wants a special panel because he needs a more liberal assessment to stave off 30 years in prison.
I am sure there will be more to follow...

Something tells me he's not that sane for choosing a life's career based on an imaginary friend. Yet all of his other actions... I'm sure he knew what he was doing. Above the law? What audacity!
