This "judge" is a pure joke. I am a criminal defense attorney. Curry represents the worst of impartiality.

Mark Curry racially profiles black people as soon as he sees them. Curry believes in justice but not equal justice. If you’re a black man chances are when you go in front of this judge! You’re going to be railroaded and your civil liberties will be violated. Placer county is the most racist county in the state of California. If you think I’m not being forthcoming with you. Please google Placerville lynchings! This county use to hang black people and the same issues are going on in the same courthouse that Mark Curry works in. That’s why I said Mark Curry is the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan!

This Judge hasn’t heard of Due Process! I’d rather root for Al-Queda than to cheer for Mark Curry! If I had a choice to have Curry as a judge or have a STD! I’d choose to have a STD!

Curry shouldn’t have ever been made a Judge! This man is a Illuminati. He’s with the new world order! Mr. Curry is a wolf and sheep clothing… This judge violates your fourteenth amendment rights and also violates your civil liberties…

Curry is completely biased to the prosecution. Any other view to the contrary is false. I have seen him on multiple occasions do everything to tilt the balance to the prosecutions favor. He is as non-objective as they come and should not be on the bench.

All of these negative comments about Curry are complete nonsense. He is one of the fairest judges in Placer County. In fact, I think he is one of the best. I have obtained great results from Judge Curry on cases. He cares about people and wants people to succeed. I have had great experiences in his courtroom and he appreciates good lawyering. I thought he was fair and balanced.

Mr. Curry is OK as a judge but he tends to follow the request of the DA. The DA has no sympathy as I had sent them a letter about my reasons and proof ofmy wife forging insurance documents. There was never a valid reason for the restraining order as there was never any domestic violence period.. but it blocked me from contacting my wife who was free to carry on her betrayal... not having to worry about my need for truth..... I am now back in Criminal Court and still seeking a trial by jury.. They totally dropped the ball in this case.

Mr. Curry is currently assigned court 13 in Auburn which is called Mental Health Court. He usually just goes along with what the DA wants. They never let me make any statements as I have a public defender that is overloaded and all this court does is push you to the next court date and move on to the next case. I was declared "incompetent" when I never was not understanding of the courts. I was told to go Kaiser for a interview to determine my sanity. Kaiser stated I was fine and I needed no help. So as the deadline was coming up I was sent to the last Dr. I interviewed with a few months prior. Nothing changed for me as I told the truth as I had 5 prior times. Guess what ? The man said I was finally competent to stand trial. Now I am taking this to trial because I turned down the plea bargain which was a joke for an innocent man.

This man never should have been made a judge. He is awful. He is as arrogant as they get. He is everything that is wrong with the system. His rulings are bad, he is unfriendly to personnel, he thinks (wrongfully) he is always the smartest person in the room. He is not very bright. If you are a lawyer and want an unpleasant trial, he is your man. If not, I strongly suggest a 170.6.

I completely disagree that Judge Curry helps criminal defendants in any way. I have been in his court many times and I have never seen him even attempt to help any defendant in their rehabilitation. Instead, he over punishes in a very pro-prosecution manner. He is completely biased to the DA.

I beg to differ. My husband who is African American went in front of this judge last week 2/2015 and was granted a certificate of rehabilitation and Judge Curry also granted him a recommendation to the Governor for a Pardon in December. He has been trying to get this done for years. This judge didn't know us from a can of paint. He read my husbands story and told him "I love to see guys like you who have changed there lives I need you to come back here and speak to the guys in here for me. My husband is now going back to mentor some of those guys. All I can say is Thank God for Mark Curry

Judge Mark S. Curry is an Illuminati Freemason. He protects the police officers and Department of Justice agents during court proceedings. He also intimidates the Placer County jail inmates and strongly pressures each inmate to accept Court Appointed attorneys and to FEAR the "dangers" of representing yourself. He is a New World Order Judge doing the bidding of his Luciferian brotherhood of Freemasons. Mark Curry should be removed from the bench in the interests of justice. Freemasonry is a cancer that has swept through the court rooms, but this Freemason should be removed from his position. If you have this judge, do not expect justice but rather the strong arm of Fraternal Orders.

He doesn't like to follow what a higher court has told him to do and wouldn't do it.

When you are in Curry's courtroom, there are two DAs there: One at counsel table and one on the bench. His rulings focus solely on, "How can I help the DA here?" He was a former prosecutor in Sacramento and has yet to learn that he is supposed to be impartial and rule accordingly. He even goes so far as to "help" the DA make their case and offers his opinions in open court of arguments the DA didn't make so he can rule against the defense. Has no business being a judge.
