Without a Doubt the most Unruly, Biased, Abusive Judge I have EVER encountered. Herr indisputably, should be removed from the Bench. He is a Detriment to the Judicial Process.

This judge is an advocate against victims rights. While sitting on the bench he openly asked, "when will someone challenge the victims rights act?". He also would moan and exasperate as in pain, "I suppose we need to let the victim back in the room". When the judge was told about the defendant trying to contact the victim he didn't take it seriously and actually go annoyed as this was brought to his attention in several precedings.

He has formed a negative opinion on all women who are victims of abuse and the only time he is not rude or failing at his job is when a victim request to drop charges.

Reality is the Seminole County Court does not want to get a guilty against any rapist or abusers because it raises the crime rate, which costs everyone in the count more money for higher insurance premiums. It also cost money to incarcerate the defendants. They set them free and they tell you that you will have better luck in CIVIL. More money for the court but if the abuser is not wealthy no attorney will take the case. If you are bringing doctors to court you are in the 100's 0f thousands of dollars.

Take your beatings and drop the case is the message of the mandated Victims Advocacy Safe House. 90% of all violent attacks and murders occur after a break up or when the man gets set free.

The States Attorney was not even an employee of Seminole county he was brought in as a ringer for the defendant because his sister owned a law firm that does government work.

[Redacted by Ed.]

1-never allowed jury to know victim was severely hurt and medical records were in evidence.
2-did not up hold Williams Rule (first question) this rule was not wanted by the victim but the SA did a private court date and did not notify the victim. The victim did not want Williams Rule since the defendant was a conman and had many priors.
3-State Attorney loaned his lap top to the defense. Victim even said do not loan it they came not prepared. This was all a scheme. The judge allowed it to be played only for the jury if nothing disparaging was played to the jury. This was on the honor of the 2 attorneys. The video was filled with lies and disparaging information which would have been a miss trial.
4- the defendant was allowed to speak for 30 minutes totally unchallenged and with no evidence. The States Attorney didn't do anything and the victim was not given any questions to respond. (the victim had actually told the SA that when we return from break the defendent would take the stand because he is a psychopath, SA said he would never do that. Well he did and the SA didn't stop or have one challenge"

These judges have nefarious and biases that justice is not possible. [Redacted by Ed.]

A Beast. Abusive. Somewhat Knowledgable. Biased. Ruled in favor of lying Defendent with ZERO evidence. Refused to look at Plaintiff’s ACTUAL and PRESEnT evidence. Would have reported Herr for Judicial Misconduct, but he has been in the Bench 40 years.

Mein Herr should be removed from the bench he is a condescending sarcastic moron that calls female defendants by their first name as if they were a/his child. Does not do this with males. Clearly some sort of female sexual harasser that gets his jollies off from the bench. Pretty pathetic and sad excuse for a judge. He earns a zero.

If your a criminal he is great, if your a victim wishing he holds felons accountable...think again. A felon on community control that scored a 64(over 44 is supposed to be mandatory prison) was brought before him on an out of county warrant-Brevard with 2 felony VOP's, The Judge let him bond out! The county that issued the warrant couldn't believe it. Again good news if you continually break the law and get him.

Judge Herr is evenhanded - he treats everyone terribly. One would think that with the recent disciplining of another Seminole County judge over matters of judicial temperament, Judge Herr would display a more moderate face to the public. He does not. His brusque demeanor and general lack of respect for those who must appear before him is damaging to the public perception of the judiciary and the administration of justice as a whole.
