Extremely sarcastic, displayed a disregard toward other blacks, manipulated the jury indirectly with frowns and long drawn out stories of racial white historians, siding 95 percent of the time,for the prosecution cynical attitude toward the defense. I thought I was turned back in time and landed in 1950 and this very black looking judge who was actually White.

Very rude and no empathy to woman. It seems like her daughter and her has a bad relationship with each other. Would an angry black woman at it's best.

Judge Tanner was very rude and has no problem separating non custodial parents from their children. She needs to have sensitivity training ASAP.

Terrible judge for criminal defendants who seek a fair trial. Judge Tanner is disrespectful to private defense attorneys. She is hostile, rude and a bully. She reminds me of retired Judges Steinberg, Bernstein and Bothe.

Not a good family court judge.She seems to have no problem separating children from the non custodial parent.Makes you wonder what her previous job was before she was appointed this position and who appointed her. It's sad.
