Comments:
In the fifteen years that I have been a lawyer she is the most deplorable judge I have encountered. She doesn't know the rules of evidence and it doesn't particularly matter because she ignores the evidence and gives money to the individual she feel needs it more than the other. The judgeship was clearly a consolation prize and its unfortunate for those who are injured by her decisions. I have seen some shocking stuff in other courthouses but she takes the cake.

Clearly a political hack, who couldn't get DA, so she pushed for a judgeship. Short, intemperate with no understanding of small claims law. Should not be on the bench.
