A judge that knows little, has no curiosity, and is as lazy as they come. He bullies lawyers and litigants to cover his own inadequacies. He's pro prosecution and openly shows it to juries. There is no such thing as a fair trial once he makes up his mind which side he likes. All form and no substance. Thank God he is retiring.

Won't enforce laws he doesn't like. Who needs the Legislature with this guy around.

I got home-towned by this Judge and a local attorney. Judge would not give me a record as requested and would not listen to my argument. No-brainer case that had to be appealed causing much needless angst.

Found that he tried a decent case for a small county judge and did not play favorites with the local lawyers.

This judge will not follow the law or provide any explanation as to why he rules the opposite of controlling statutes or binding precedent. It's not that he does not understand the law but he thinks that his robe is a super hero cape that allows him to legislate from the bench.
