From my experience being in his court room I believe he has more compassion in sentencing compared to other Judges.

This Bozo's nickname is the "Boob" and for a good reason. While I don't mind having rulings going my way, problem is that they are reversed on appeal because this nut can't deal with issues on any kind of an impartial basis.

Loves to talk....about himself. "I was the Assistant State Public Defender"..."I handled capital appeals". Who cares?

Do your f'ing job and don't make me pick up the pieces later.

Sorry, I had to stop laughing at the last review before I could write this. His nickname is the "Boob" which is a well deserved one. He is so intent on getting to the Court of Appeals, yet he knows nothing about what it takes to be a judge. Loves to talk about himself, I was the Deputy State Private Defender. I handled appeals in murder cases. Despite his claimed background, can't handle the simplest misdemeanor, let alone felonies.

If you want to fall down a rabbit hole, go ahead and appear before him for trial. By the time the jury is deliberating, you probably won't remember what the trial was all about.
