What kind of judge does this?

I read he ordered a widow with a child to pay the expenses of a manufacturer from the United Kingdom. The manufacturer is a 10 million dollar company. Their equipment has killed over 70 people including the widows husband. They admit the equipment doesn't meet standards. My rating: Muirhead judges with arrogance and ignorance.

I've seen three cases of his so far and in each one, the evidence in the case seemed irrelevant -- as if he had made up his mind beforehand. In each case, issues completely unrelated to the case were brought up, sometimes by the prosecution and sometimes by the judge himself.

With judges like this we need no prosecutors. He knew what he was going to do before he came into the courtroom. we could have all stayed at home and he could have emailed his decision from his bedroom. To bring up two other cases that both ended in violence - these cases had no relevancy to the Lauren Canario case. He should be ashamed of himself. Give respect, get respect.

In reply to comment #7391, he's done that to two women, both nonviolent peace protesters. In one case he went on an irrelevant rant about tax resister Ed Brown, and in another he compared the woman to Carl Drega.

A fair judge who keeps all the lawyers in line, not just the defense.

A terrific judge with a sometimes inappropriate temperment.
