Civil Litigation - Govt.

Comment #: AZ2695
Rating:1.1
Comments:
A highly partisan judge from the state of California, John Hannah allows his own particular political beliefs and mercurial temper to color ALL of his judicial orders and rulings. [Redacted] this has resulted in far-higher than average "change of Judge for right" filings. Appointed to the bench in 2005, Hannah has NEVER been considered for promotion (which is quite telling as to public perception of his legal capabilities).

In the Kari Lake v. Stephen Richtor trial, the Judge could barely get out an incoherent sentence. A strong indication that this Judge lacks Intellect. As for his role as a Judge, he was clearly biased from the beginning and was only hearing the case because he was ordered to. He certainly didn’t want the people to hear or see the truth and the fact that he shut down Blehm every step of the way makes a mockery of our judicial system.

Weak. By not allowing Kari Lake's chosen witnesses to testify, you have shown your bias. It's a total disgrace to the profession. I don't live in AZ but am watching this case intently. It impacts us all. The world is watching.

Most biased judge I've ever heard in a courtroom.
He could have at least let the other side present evidence.

Terrible, politically biased, would not allow one plaintiff witness, no evidence able to be reviewed! Concerned with feelings, not facts! Enabled defendents by providing closing arguments whike interrupting & silencing plaintiff closing argumants!

Judge Hannah is extremely prejudiced in his decisions. He has allowed his thoughts and political beliefs to guide his rulings rather than the letter of the law and best interest of the people who trusted him with their well being by electing him. It is clear that John Hannah Jr. is swayed by monetary offers, take a peek at what he bothers to report sometime (I can only imagine how much he hasn’t) .

This judge told me that my ex has absolute immunity to lie to police and the court about me. Even if I can prove it was maliciois and fictitious. He cited a case law that was over ruled by the supreme court and he stood by his position all the same.

One of the best ever, and I have practiced for 35 years, was married to a judge and was law clerk to a Judge.This man is just fair, even tempered and not influenced by politics which says a lot in this state.

This judge is fair minded and understands the nuances involved in plea bargains. He takes the time to understand the case details. He stands up to injustice.

Extremely partisan judge - hard left bias. He should recuse himself from any remotely political case. Get rid of this judge if you can. We need to clean up the judiciary in this country, and especially in this corrupt county.

Highly biased an opinionated. Should not be on the bench as a referee who calls balls and strikes. Much like his federal peer Emmet Sullivan he has no business on the bench as a fair and impartial jurist who reads strictly from the law. Has a history of having major cases before him overturned by the Court of Appeals.

Dear Hon. Judge Hannah,
I beg you to do the right thing by putting an end to what Donald Trump is requesting and show the world that Mr. Biden has won the election.

Judge was biased throughout pre-trial and trial process, not even handed in his decisions.
During the trial he made comment in front of the jury to belittle and discredit an expert witness, prior to her testimony.
During trial, not in front of jury, he made biased comment displaying favoritism toward the plaintiff.
He often spoke in a flippant or condescending manner.

Biased. Takes away scheduled trial time without notice or reason. Takes Telephonic Conferences during trial. Intolerant to questions. No control in the courtroom while he appeared to be attending to other things.

Judge Hannah should not be on the bench in my opinion. It doesn't take much to confuse him and then he can't get the facts straight. I think he ruled with his "feelings" instead of the evidence.

He makes it up as he goes favoring big law firms and insurance companies over the little guys. Ignores legal issues such as res judicata and issue preclusion, in favor of his own biases against Jews.

Judge Hannah I found has reflected his own personal judgement and interperatation of the law. He has a hard time understanding more perplexed litigation it seems. I don't like it when a Judge allows his own rules to be bent. This Honorable Judge states one thing then does the other.

Unqualified and his court is behaviors matter and known of the law is disgusting. He is retaliatory towards Parties for his own personal short comings and should in NO way be on the bench.

After having a failed Criminal Law Practic after 21 years, Foreclosures, and now is financial independ living a govenment salary depicits what a criminal Hannah his. Hannah goes about and be on to discredit a Party in order to pick their Bank Account from every angle. Blame, Blame, Blame, meanwhile he's laughing all the way to the bank with huge Law Firms, Theraptist, and of course the AZ Bar kicking back monies. Hannah is the ring leader to a Criminal Enterprise! Congrats!

How much money goes to Sandra Day O'Connor?

He's a women's activist, and in my opinion the well being of the child/children is usually his main agenda.

Judge Hannah is warming up to the task of the criminal bench. The juvenile bench assignment, from which he came, often creates a mindset that has no place in adult court. At this point the jury is still out.
