Rating:2.0
Comments:
Sexist, misendrist and definitely prejudiced . Motivated and inclined to prove ones ideological background into cases. Above all rude and dismissive of evidence and logic when it does not perceive her motives. One can question both credibility and motivation to seek Justice, facts and the truth at large.

Have not seen her brew tea, but she is the most intelligent judge I've seen. But more than intellect, she shows wisdom and is practical when appropriate. In my long career, I've had roughly 500 criminal cases, 1000 tort cases, and 100 contract cases."


^^Every LASC judge should emulate this judge, especially some very bad, abusive LASC family judges, who protect violent perps. and revictimize women and abuse victims; while this judge listens to female abuse and/or sexual assault victims and is not pressured by money, celebrity and/or an abusive attorney, who is in bed with certain judges in LASC family law courtrooms.

^^Danny Masterson’s former ‘That 70s Show’ co-stars penned letters to the judge before he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for rape.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were allegedly among 50 people, who wrote letters to Judge Charlaine Olmedo in support of Danny Masterson before he was sentenced in his rape trial, according to LA Times, Good Morning America. The two actors had both co-starred with Danny throughout the popular sitcom That 70s Show. Both Mila and Ashton recounted their history with Danny and spoke about "the positive aspects of his character."
The letters were also published by journalist Tony Ortega on his Substack

Rude and dismissive of the carefully researched briefs of my attorney. then dismissed my attorney and personally prosecuted me without representation to afford gary Rosenthal an opportunity to present evidence or call any of my 11 witnesses including an expert court appointed dr. Rothberg by former attorney Cheryl nellon . Hon. Olmedo clearly plays favorites by dismissing attorneys from our trial without stating any reasons for doing so other than ruling they had "qualified immunity." Then, she refused our motion contrarily ordered remand to the state prison county of la twin towers facility at trial and in court and basically told some attorney she would not grant a motion to bail review our case before it was presented. When presented with several precedent decisions from other judges in the case law she said the facts were different without stating why they were different. We will be requesting a mandamus from the 2nd Circuit

Did a 2-defendant trial in her courtroom. Best temperament of any judge in the building. Will brew tea for the lawyers. Former DA and married to a sheriff's deputy, but does seem to bend over backwards for the defense at times.
