Comments:
Judge does not under any circumstances give parents a chance in court nor their attorneys. She even helps the defense organize their case in the middle of the courtroom. and supports all jim crow efforts to withhold evidence that will hold child services and the prosecutors accountable in any way. she is not pro family and will support falsified evidence to allow child services to build a case against you.

Comments:
Incredibly dense and inflexible. Any outcome is possible with this judge. In Barnett's courtroom, a parent can accuse the other parent of what the first parent is guilty of and get away with a child to the exclusion of the other parent. Barnett is a strict adherent of the power of the law guardian so any lawyer picked to represent the child runs her courtroom. One must be especially prepared and on one's toes to appear as a litigant before Barnett. Fake-outs lurk at every spoken word.
