A Westmoreland County woman testified on Friday that suspended Somerset County District Attorney Jeffrey Thomas assaulted his wife in 2021 after she discovered him drinking with a recent lover.
But Thomas’ wife, Amy Thomas, maintained in her own testimony that injuries to her face and head were caused by a car crash after the couple’s 1 a.m. dispute.
The Tribune-Democrat does not typically identify people alleged to be victims of abuse, but Amy Thomas went public with her story and has now testified twice that the allegations against her husband are false. The woman, a Westmoreland County emergency medical technician, said she advised Amy Thomas to call the police and seek medical treatment. But she declined, the woman said.
Schulte questioned that account, reading a series of text messages purportedly sent from Amy Thomas’ phone to the Westmoreland County woman’s stating that she had been badly beaten and didn’t do anything to deserve it.Schulte also read almost identical messages sent from Amy Thomas’ phone to another friend’s and received the same response.
“They did not have similar vantage points,” he said. “Yes, the standard at the level is lower ... but you heard today from the alleged victim in this case. ... testimony negates the elements of every single one of those charges.”“We don’t believe Mrs. Thomas is telling the truth,” he said, adding that text messages, photos and contradicting testimony are “sufficient” to send the case to trial.
