Very poor Judge will never lusten to the Judge. Seen him lock someone up because he told thr3m on previous court to have a lawyer next court date. When next court date came around asked the defendant where his lawyer was ? He replyed he is across the hall taking care of another client. Judge locked him up on 100k bond. When laywer showed up he went b4 judge Kennedy again even tho lawyer was there he remove the bond. There are 100s of stories about this judge just as bad

Horrible judge. Locks up defendants with high bonds in effort to make them plea guilty to get out.
