insofar as criminal matters: y'know in the Hansel and Gretel story there is the nice old lady who invites the kids into the gingerbread house with the intention of baking and eating them?--that's what we're talkin' here

If you don't come into her court with a plea bargain. Your guilty. It's faster and easier for her that way. No ethics or morals. And there is no way that her supervisor aren't fully aware of her behavior and most definitely the Essex county DA's office takes advantage of these facts. Especially when they know they have a losing case or no case at all. She's the shame of the Massachusetts justice system.

Overly aggressive, casually conducts side dealings and misconduct without regard for the legalities.
