She really is what these people are saying about her. I went in to get my gun rights back after the LAPD put me on a 5150 for 2 hours and then let me go because they realized it was absurd.

The DA in the mental health dept (50 I think?) agreed to "Submit" to my request and recommended the court give me back my rights.

She STILL denied me. When I told her politely she had no justification to do so, she said "I'm in charge". I then told her "I'll be contacting the Judicial Affairs Committee, your honor". She then RETRACTED her verdict and RECUSED herself.

The judge in the courtroom right next door immediately agreed to my request and I had my rights back in 5 MINUTES.

She is truly a very, very scary woman considering there are thousands of "her" probably nationwide ruining people's lives. I really feel bad for mentally ill people who have to deal with this woman. God bless you.

I was reopresented by a 'stand-in' for the lawyer who did walk in just as the announcement was made. Yes, no trials in S-95 court and no appeals allowed in L.A. County (not even allowed to address the judge to tell her the Drs. would have had to have lied because I refused to talk to them (case law states that takes the case back out of S95 court and forces the criminal trial). Everyone plays along like there is nothing they can do about it (always someone else's job). This judge Samantha Jessner needs to be where she kept me for five months before the charge was dropped and to repay me for all the property and time I lost. I see from previous posts here that someone in power already knew and therefore they should be taken off any responsible positions as well.

Insane.
EXTREMELY rude to petitioners and has no respect for the law or even HER courtroom employees. Might as well jump to the State appeals court if you are within a 10-foot pool radius of this nut.

The pits. Evil, biased, and dangerous. She is out of a nightmare. I will be haunted for life due to the vile choices of this Judge Samantha Jessner.
Ruthless, amoral, and phony to the core.

Judge Samantha Jessner is a shill for the prosecution. She will give them anything they want whenever they want it. She is willing to destroy people to further her own agenda. Disgusting representative of the judiciary. I understand she is under investigation.
