This judge let a guy completely off the hook for child molestation charges. The decision to do so is indicative of his callous view of child abuse.

His attitude has not changed in the Family Law venue. Judge Roeca doesn't make decisions that are based in the best interests of the child. Separating children from loving parents is routine in this courtroom.

Parents need to take into consideration how much money is at stake and whether their attorneys have a relationship to Judge Roeca to determine how best to proceed.

I have spoken to many others who have a case in this department. Many of those parents have voiced similar concerns.

Judge Roeca lacks the empathy necessary to make basic decisions for children. For example, he recently made an ex parte order allowing a father who wanted his child aborted to permanently move to Denmark. This was after denying the mother an opportunity to have a lawyer, while the father has been spending millions on lawyers and "expert witnesses".

Judge Roeca systematically alienated this poor child from the mother. The child has had only very limited contact from the age of 3 months.

Roeca simply doesn't care what that does to a child. He only cared about appeasing the wealthy litigants.

Judge Russ Roeca SEEMS to be a polite judge on the surface BUT... when it comes to actually preparing himself to make a ruling he is unprepared. Judge Roeca covered for his crony counterpart who is a total family wrecking ball that has/ had NO business ruling from the bench in the “best interests of of the child” standard. Roeca is complicit in the retaliatory vendetta, abuse of discretion, abuse of authority and contempt of the laws and regulations governing the family court.
I am perplexed that Roeca will not read the case information to comprehend the gravity of abuses in this case to make HIS OWN determination of the facts to realize the grossly overreaching statement of decision written by the previous judge in the case. This decision was based on an INCOMPLETE status report that was ORDERED to be completed by the previous judge, who then used the INCOMPLETE report to UNLAWFULLY and IMMEDIATELY sever the parent’s physical and legal rights to the children without reason given on record and without due process, while COMPLETELY ignoring the court ordered Professional information that was PURPOSELY EXCLUDED from the initial status report that undeniably contradicted the judge’s personal vendetta to remove the parent from the children’s lives. ROECA does not care about TRUE justice or initiating the effort to understand what is actually in “the best interests of the child” while keeping the status quo approach of cronyism, following their footsteps in order protect and uphold the gross judicial misconduct of his peers and he should be ashamed!

Judge Russ Roeca SEEMS to be a good judge on the surface, being polite while on the bench BUT... when it comes to actually preparing himself to make a ruling for a hearing, he showed up to the bench on an EMERGENCY order hearing MONTHS AFTER THE FILING, unprepared, brought counsel into chambers, stated he HAD NOT READ ANYTHING about the matter and kicked the EMERGENCY matter down the road ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS to give him time to make a ruling. Well here’s a surprise... Judge Roeca covered for his crony counterpart who is a total family wrecking ball that has/ had NO business ruling from the bench in the “best interests of of the child” standard. Roeca is complicit in the retaliatory vendetta, abuse of discretion, abuse of authority and contempt of the laws and regulations governing the family court.

Ben Reyes in my opinion does not care about TRUE justice or initiating the effort to understand what is actually in “the best interests of the child” while keeping the status quo approach of cronyism,following their footsteps in order protect and uphold the gross judicial misconduct of his peers and he should be ashamed!

Controversial Judges.
[redacted by Ed.]
“The judge has ordered the court closed,” another deputy yelled. “If you fail to leave, you will be detained.”

“Are you serious?” O’Neil’s supporters said. One woman at the front said, “You are evil. Evil. Evil!”

O’Neil’s group walked out, and a deputy locked the door. Meanwhile, Roeca told Fox the hearing would occur on July 14, the immediate date when Hutchings returns.

Green stood out in the hallway of the Hall of Justice in a ring of supporters with Conger, looking forlorn. She bemoaned that without a district attorney who presses charges on police officers, Black and Latino men would be vulnerable to police use-of-force and killings.
