Extremely cruel and power hungry. I am on permanent Disability. My Atty told him this. His EXACT words "I DON'T CARE"!!!

I had a D.C. that should not have gone to me. He smiles, excuses the Jury, then SCREAMS at me, gets visibly Mad... Gives me 5 Days Jail, 100 Hours Community Service (TO A DISABLED MAN), fine & Court $430, Lawyer $4000....ALL over accidentally breaking a $35 Stove Plate THAT I OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about a TRUE let down of the Justice system!!!!! I was denied my Medication in Jail, Sworn at constantly, treated like I "KILLED" someone!!!

HE HONESTLY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED.....I AM STRONGLY THINKING ABOUT SUING.....

The single most racist judge on the face of the earth! If you're brown, you're goin down! A bully that judges children for a living and derives great pleasure out of humiliating anyone that questions him or his emperical tactics.

This judge seems to do nothing but talk down every other person he speaks with. Saying stuff that is not only demoralizing, but is almost outrageous.
It's almost like this guy doesn't really realize that being so harsh to people can actually be worse for that person's life in the long-run as well as have a negative effect on people close by, including the community!
