Prosecutor

Comment #: CA13636
Rating:3.8

Comments:
A rigid, self-assured, egoist who is clearly uninterested in the hard work others have done, because ‘He’ and only ‘He’ knows how justice will be served. Clearly hating people, he takes every opportunity to intimidate expert witnesses and attorneys alike. The only approach that works with the man is to throw yourself on the mercy of his court, and be publically thankful for the opportunity. Is this seriously the best El Dorado County can do?

I'm a man interested in justice. I wanted to ask the district attorney a question. Kenneth Melikian committed judicial fraud by stating ON THE RECORD that I was appearing for the defendant. NEVER did I state that I was appearing for ANYONE. I find NO HONOR in a so called judge who enters blatant lies into the court record.

Another judge who refuses to learn the law and apply it to the cases before him.
