Look at what he wrote on Ballotpedia when he was up for election in 2008. He claimed multiple times on there that he believed in fairness and impartiality. Yet he likes to belittle defendants and their supporters at sentencing. He claimed that we had "no credibility with this court." But, does he not realize that CPS workers, police officers, mental health staff, and even "victims" might have their own agendas? Nolo contendere does not mean that everything the prosecutorial side wrote was true and that everything the denfensorial side wrote was false. Let's have a truly impartial candidate run against him and take his seat in 2021!
