Rating:10.0
Comments:
Judge Porras was calm, cool, and collected. At the end of the day, he just wanted to understand what actually happened and gave everyone an opportunity to tell their story to the fullest extent they could.

Comments:
Porras was papered out of East LA by criminal defense attorneys for being completely pro-prosecution, unintelligent and lacked any even temperament to sit on the bench. He would often say just plain stupid things to defendants like "I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last night". Could not manage calendar and would often have court run till 5pm.

One sided. Passive aggressive. Was in front of him regarding a criminal matter and he was unreasonable with defense discovery request and caused a back up in the calendar because of the focus on his own fragile ego.
