Roy Snyder

Judge Roy Snyder, voiced by Harry Shearer, is a judge in Springfield. He is one of the main African-American characters in The Simpsons.

Personality
Starting off as stern and no-nonsense (with a grudge against Lionel Hutz for running over his son repeatedly), Snyder later became known for his lenient punishments.

Model for Character
Judge Snyder also bears a resemblance to Judge Robert Bork as well as Judge Joe Brown.

Continuity and Errors
In earlier episodes he has yellow skin; in Bart Gets Hit by a Car his name is Moulton; his usual name may be an allusion to Judge Roy Bean.
