Good news! Judge Stark has retired. It looks like the newly appointed judge has a better background and cares more about people.

I remember her as a DA in Alameda County. She was overly impressed with herself and still is as a judge. A moronic self-absorbed rube who is oddly impressed with her family ties and treats litigants and staff poorly. She's a female judge who is an embarrassment to females.

Has continually ruled in a matter not following the statutory and case law. Has specifically criticized existing law and mentioned not following it. Private Defense attorneys and public defenders call her "Stark Raving Mad," a play on words and he name because of her bizarre comments and rulings from the bench. Appears to be disrespectful of those appearing in front of her.

Poor at best. Incompetent, ill prepared bimbo who loves her own theatrics and drama.

Judge Davis set bail of $100,000 in a misdemeanor case where the defendant was charged with trespass and violating a restraining order involving an ex-girlfriend. Defendant was forced to pay a bondsman $10,000 to make bail and continue his business. The district attorney's office later dismissed the charges as unfounded. The end result was that the defendant was effectively fined $10,000 for doing nothing wrong. Judge Stark should not be on the bench.
