Laziest Judge in Criminal Court. Good for defense thoug, she will undercut other judges and ADA just so she can go home early. Doesn't seem to be willing to try a case. Also, be careful, she can be ok one day and a screaming insane woman the next - very moody.

She runs a tight ship, moving cases along very quickly. She's very industrious and seems fair and pleasant. I'll report back on her inclination; pro-defense or pro-prosecution.
