Sarcastic, yes. Got in trouble several years ago, yes. But, but he has a fine legal mind and is fair to both sides with his rulings. He's acquitted himself well in my book.

Comments:
Judge Wilson allows his mood and his tempter to affect his behavior as a judge. He acts very full of himself and often unable to listen to what is really being said in his courtroom. He acts extremely patronizing to defendants, regardless of whether they are in pre-trial hearings or if their case is dismissed. Again, it depends alot on his mood at the moment which seems to determine his words, decisions, and attitude. He has also, in a bad mood, 'cited' law that is fabricated right then and there. He speaks to criminal and civil defendants as if he knows they are guilty or liable, before a case is decided and even after a determination shows differently. On some days and some matters he is reasonable, but one does not know from moment to moment.
