After review of judge Hornstein, I had a change of mind to doubt his fairness and open mind even though had wanted to represent myself in my own proper person. I give him the benefit of the doubt, having the experience on both sides of the isles to make an impartial ruling as Assistant District Attorney has failed to state force claims.

He is at the top of his class of judges. He is smart, fair, and does not have an ounce of pretension. He is an excellent model for all jurists.

I am skeptical of all new appointments, but Judge Hornstein has a knack for efficiency and fairness, and runs his courtroom like a seasoned jurist. He is as even-handed and unpretentious as they come, and keeps an open mind on suppression motions. I hope he keeps it up.
