Comment #: CA52002
Rating:1.0

Comments:
She was a newly appointed judge that was assigned to the case. She discussed the case with other judges who had been previously assigned to the case, including one judge that was personally connected to the defendants, the perpetrators. She demanded that the plaintiff/victim choose between two appointments or be sanctioned. He would have met both appointments but that was not what she wanted to hear so she sanctioned the plaintiff/victim thousands of dollars. Judicial bias is what it is called. Eventually, she chose to recuse, but not until she had a part in damaging the victim’s case.

Comments:
This judge shows complete disregard of children and women, and all laws and WIC, especially in domestic violence situations. She is judicially biased [Redacted by Ed.] She's shown complete bias, targeting an innocent mother and her children who the mother is not allowed to see without someone hovering, for a FEE, and has lost all contact with her children while the domestic abuser was given everything in the divorce, all assets, no mutual bills owed, given full control of the the children without oversight, and insanely low spousal support especially for length of time in the marriage. to the point where her relative works on the local police force and he was sued by a respondent for assault along with CPS workers in the same county, in a divorce case she resides over.
