Clarence Thomas' Former Ward Faces Serious Legal Troubles

Mark Martin, raised by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, awaits trial on drug and weapon charges, alleging estrangement from his guardians.

Mark Martin, who lived with Clarence and Ginni Thomas from age 6 to 19, is in jail awaiting trial.
Martin, now 32, claims he has had little contact with the Thomases in recent years.
He is accused of serious drug and weapon offenses, which he denies.
Martin's education was reportedly funded by Harlan Crow, a friend of Thomas, without Martin's prior knowledge.
The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of Thomas' undisclosed gifts from Crow.
