Any suggestion that this is behavior that is normal, or even occasional, for a sitting judge is simply inaccurate. This type of thing is extremely rare, which is why it makes the news. That said, the concept of a trial by jury has been severely eroded throughout this country. Defendants are routinely coerced into giving up the right to a jury trial when they are told that, if they demand a jury and are found guilty, they will receive a much harsher sentence than if they agree to a bench trial. That is NOT the way the system is supposed to work under to the US Constitution. But, unfortunately, it is often the typical modis operandi.

He could have challenged the DPD to
a duel, both with sabers like Zorro
had or firearms at 50 paces.

Like what Landlord said, It used to be that people looked up to doctors and lawyers as pillars of the community and role models. But now it seems that lawyers are little more than sheisters with their hand in the public till out to get whatever they can without regard for moral parameters. Forget about professionalism. Judges used to keep attorneys on their toes. Now they’ve sunk to their level. God help us, how can it get any worse

This is not surprising. Judges are just cops. This judge has a cop's temper.

When you go into a courtroom, you're simply walking into another room of the police station.

You folks need to understand what America really is.

There are still good people in the practice of law. It just seems like you have to look a little harder than you should sometimes to find them.

Is this how low we have sunk? Are we really watching a Judge beat up counsel because he won’t agree to waive speedy trial as if it were reality tv? Is there anyone who feels the Judge’s behavior is defensible? Because I don’t. This is absolutely unacceptable. The Judge needs to be relieved of his responsibilities, fired from his job, and lose his law license. I have been a businessman and property owner here for decades and I can tell you that half the lawyers in Marion County are thinly disguised crooks. And many of the Judges I have appeared before as a landlord were seriously challenged, flawed people. The level of professionalism is sadly below acceptable, national standards. Don’t let your children go to law school. The thing that they become is ugly, and cheap. It used to be that people looked up to doctors and lawyers as pillars of the community and role models. But now it seems that lawyers are little more than sheisters with their hand in the public till out to get whatever they can without regard for moral parameters. Forget about professionalism. Judges used to keep attorneys on their toes. Now they’ve sunk to their level. God help us, how can it get any worse
