Unfair, biased and petty. The trial panels' opinion in the Bar v. Brad Miller says it all about Black. A great day when he retired and will be a better day if he is disbarred over his conduct in the Miller matter.

JUDGE BLACK HAS HIS OWN LAW. HE DOESN'T LET THE REAL LAW GET IN HIS WAY.HIS CLAIM TO FAME IS TRYING 100 MURDER CASES, NEVER MIND THAT THEY HAVE MOSTLY BEEN REVERSED FOR JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT OR HIS ERROR. HORRIBILE AS A JUDGE. EXPECTS PARTIES TO HOLD HANDS AND SING CUM-BY-YA, OR HE GETS SCREAMY.

Judge Black is an excellent criminal judge. He was an excellent police officer before practicing law. His knowledge of the criminal process puts him at the top of his profession. He is an asset to Oklahoma County and to the legal profession in Oklahoma. As a police officer, I am proud to have known him both professionally and personally for close to 40 years.

Judge Black is one of the most honest and forthright judges in this great state. I have known Judge Black for 33 years and this is one judge that treats everyone equally and shows no favoritism (which sometimes I wished for!). If only we had more judges that were as "balanced" as Judge Black is.

I have tried numerous cases in front of this judge. He lets the litigants try their case and doesn't attempt to control them.

This judge is very experienced and exceptionally competent. He is fair to both the prosecution and defense. He keeps an open mind and often is willing to think outside the box. I believe he is extraordinary and a credit to the bench.
