Prosecutor

Comment #: WI477
Rating:1.0
Comments:
For somebody on the bench literally 24 years, this unhappy man sure is prone to maudlin self-pity, when faced with defendants' open dislike and disapproval of his lack of judicial integrity. The respect that is accorded to the robe he wears is earned, not taken for granted. Perhaps it is no wonder that Zuidmulder is too stupid to realize this. Perhaps this is unsurprising, given that in the early 90s, as a private attorney, that pitiable man advised a child molester named Donald Bazunowski not to submit to a police interrogation, or to factually confess that he had molested a 10-year-old boy. A federal grand jury could be persuaded that it was Zuidmulder who caused that dangerous predator to walk free, and run wild to abuse other children, until he was ultimately caught and incarcerated in 2003. For his honor's undoubtedly severe sufferings, we must feel sincere pity.
