Did not read papers from either attorney and admitted this. made a decision contrary to law to satisfy her own personal issues with the plaintiff who was a pretty blond whit woman. the judge is a big fat black woman who said to the paintiff i had mac&cheese for lunch what did you have a piece of celery? not what you expect to hear from the person handeling you destiny

This is an unqualified judge. She is the epitome of a judge who speaks on the record without reflection. Stream of consciousness thoughts do not bespeak proper judicial decorum or judgement. Moreover, they make for a terrible record. In reviewing her career prior to said judicial appointment, one is at a loss to determine how It came to be. An unqualified candidate for a judgeship does not often turn out well. This judge is the living embodiment of same.

She behaved unintelligently. A little too Ghetto for Court room decorum. However, she did an ok job at handling a contentious post litigation.

She is the worst i ever saw in my life and dont know how she was picked to be a judge with her words she uses like Geto talking and no respect for others.
To me she doesnt speak proper with no class and her getto mouth is a turn off to bring into the court system.She has no compasion for others what they are going through.

This Judge has the mental status of zero. By that how is possible to send out 5 police officers to a Senior citizen house between 5:30a/6:00am to just bust into her home an not even have the respect to honor a The owner (a Senior citzen) not even show a search warrant for the home. How dare she. Judge Thornton has no compasion for anyone but herself. The senior citizen is a long time resident of monmouth county. Judge Thornton should be taken off the bench.
