Rating:2.5

Comments:
Avoid this judge. Does not follow the law, prosecution favoring, and the worst Judge to have to rule on a question of law. Like my overall rating of 1...you have a les than 1 in 10 chance of receiving a fair ruling. Immediately sides with prosecution.

Comments:
If it were possible to rate someone less than 1, she would deserve that rating. Probably the worst judge in LA. She is unfair and lies. Yes, lies. She accuses others of lying when she herself has made comments to counsel and then conveniently "can't remember" saying them when it becomes relevant. Avoid, avoid, avoid. I shudder when I think about her.

I have been in this judges courtroom many times as a observer. her bias for the prosecution and willingness to go many extra miles for them is palpable and obscene. There is no possibility of any defendant getting a fair shake in her court, Avoid!
