Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Judge made up own facts and scenario not stated at trial counter to both Prosecution and defenses stated events as explanation for an extremely harsh sentence for a polite defendant with no criminal history. After a prosecution stretching on what constitutes assault. Seems to hand out sentences for political reasons not based on the facts of the crime.

Rude, unprofessional, made everything more complicated and time consuming than the issues warranted, didn't reign in a prosecutor who was disorganized and out of control. To be clear, I won the case but these are my impressions.

Pompous, Pro-prosecution, hyper-vigilant, gives the pros most if not all of the calls, holds defense to a higher standard. Defense lawyers you've been warned.(you can still win!)
