Concerned only about how he appears to public. Believes jurors are idiots and does not miss an opportunity to berate them in public.
Will secretly hold court at an earlier time in order to avoid the press.

I hate this judge. He called Dalia Dippolito "pure evil" sentenced her to twenty years and then let her out again on house arrest while her appeal is pending. AND HE'S GIVING HER TIME SERVED. So she's sitting home with her feet up getting times served after she was convicted. She should be in prison right now serving out her sentence not watching TV at her mother's.

He did the same to John Goodman,another convicted felon who is on house arrest pending appeal. I find that despicable.
