Bias, prejudice and rude. Always late for proceedings. Judge Patrone will keep detainees in custody for years, forcing a conviction. This Judge is all about a conviction at any costs of a persons liberty.

If you are assigned to Judge Angela Patrone S.O.J (substitute of Judge) immediately. You have only 10 days from the date you are assigned. Otherwise, you will most likely regret.

Petrone is a ride disrespectful person who feels above the law my son was on house arrest for 2 years and in 2021 a law was passed allowing all in electronic monitoring movement for essential needs he was denied by her any educational or job related needs any mental health care and medical care she clearly stated on the record she doesn't care what the new law is she is the one who makes all decision. I'm totally confused as to how the person who is to abide by the law dismiss the law. She lacks respects, and is not at all honest she makes the story her own, refuses to answer questions for the jury and disregard facts and evidence she needs to go.

Judge Petrone wouldn't look at my child, allow him to speak, spoke down to him, and raised her voice unnecessarily, rolling her eyes, looking back and forth to the Prosecutor and Court Reporter while shaking her head. No compassion or care for human life. She wouldn't allow him bond, holding him in custody for four years behind bars in Supermax status, until the expert witness report was presented - this report should have vindicated him, but as the Lawyer said, "Either he takes this plea deal or he can wait in the County jail (during Covid) for an additional year to go to trial." She and the State were so kind to offer time considered served (after learning that his case would be won in the trial) dropping all (several counts) If he accepted this one count that was the less serious of all 11 counts. Going from facing life in prison to time considered served... Ridiculous.

Please remove her as a judge, it's heartbreaking a person like this is allowed such power. Inhuman.

If we had known a substitute of Judge was an option we would have absolutely done this. People, 10 days is the limit to do it, If you get this Judge, run fast, SOJ her. Only if we had known...

Hearing several Lawyers, other Judges, and families who know her all say the same. "She shouldn't serve on the bench."

An awful human being. Only cares about her conviction ratings.

If you get this Judge SOJ (substitute of Judge) her IMMEDIATELY. You only have ten days from the date a person is appointed to a Judge.

She needs to be removed from the bench. Bias, prejudice and will keep you locked up for years without a bond, forcing clients into taking a conviction.

Her decision in the Addolfo Davis case was awful. Children should not be sentenced to life in prison without parole, and certainly should be given a second chance when our highest courts give judges leeway to make it happen. Shame on her!!

She was horrifically and obviously biased in her extreme ruling in the Addolfo Davis case. She was completely closed-minded. There was no justice in her courtroom from square one.

She is a very kind and thoughtful person and judge. I always enjoyed appearing in front of her, because she treated people with dignity, professionalism, and fairness. She is very knowledgeable and no-nonsense. I am glad that I had the opportunity to appear in front of her. She is a very good person.
