Litigant

Comment #: FL8478
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Cynthia Newton is a disgrace to humanity, she is petty, condescending to litigants and even acts like a little brat pretending she's busy, like she can't even hear a litigant, because she's already decided to rule against them to begin with.

This is the laziest judge in the entire Circuit, but she makes up for it, she is stupid too.

Litigant

Comment #: FL7377
Rating:1.0

Comments:
If there was a way, I would rate this judge a zero. She is an abomination to the legal profession and wreaks havoc on her victims in her poor and even illegal judgments. After I divorced my wife for wiping out our joint bank account of over $400,000, judge Newton has shown extreme bigotry against me in ruling in favor of this woman in almost every case. She has refused to hear a contempt hearing against this woman while she went so far as to throw me in jail for not having $42000 in cash without allowing me to demonstrate I did not have these funds available. She has blatantly violated my civil rights under the 14th Amendment of the United States without due process. This Pinellas County court system needs to stop protecting this “train wreck” of a judge and throw her off the bench.

I, theodoric Jones, was falsely accused of raping a minor and received three years injunction from my own home and the allegations are false and rehearsed.

I have repeatedly amended and petitioned the courts to remedy this verdict , but judge Newton shows so much prejudice, that it interferes with her logic and ethics. she does not follow rule of law, when it is concise and accurate for my defense.

Oneshe is going to really hurt a person/family with her non- professionalism approach to fairness for both parties

Rating:1.1

Comments:
She has absolutely no knowledge of civil procedure or law. In many years of practice as a trial attorney, she is the most incompetent judge before whom I have ever tried a case. She is also not impartial to the extent that even the jury noticed her bias. She has no business serving as a judge.

She was promoted from the Public Defender's office and has no business being a judge. She is pro-prosecution, and doesn't care about justice. She refuses continuances!

Rating:1.0

Comments:
She is unfair. She does not give the jury the information that they ask for. She predetermines the outcome of the trial. She wants to go eat dinner instead of hearing a trial. She allows jury members to talk to each other during trial. She does not know what she is doing.

Predetermines charge and sentence prior to hearings. Does not take into consideration all of the information available prior to judgement.
