Glad to hear he's retired. I had the misfortune to keep finding myself in front of Tisdale a lot in the early to mid-2000s. He is biased. Nasty. Will strain all logic to reverse-engineer the outcome he wants.

This Judge was absolutely horrible in a complex civil case. His rulings on basic rules of evidence were simply incredible - in a bad way. Thank goodness he has retired. It's amazing (and sad) that someone as incompetent as Judge Tisdale made it on the bench. Let's hope our Governor appoints someone who knows evidence and has actually tried a case.
