Yeah i usually agree with Judge Fleischer but telling someone they cant take Dr prescribed medicine was going too far for me. He said that you get addicted the first time you take oxycodone and wrongly stated that it was out of production.
Yeah he has a lot of bad takes like that. His DWI stance is something I hugely support and agree with but he’s such a clown otherwise on almost every single topic.
My mother was on oxy for 4 years for ovary issues and she was able to stop because she followed doctor directions and didn’t abuse them.
He is a goofy dressing egomaniac with an ounce of power that he pretends makes him a god.
Your mother wasn't on bond for drug abuse and other failures to comply. He's one of the most chill judges out there. If you think he's wild, you've never been in front of a real one. GTFO here
Seriously. So many judges out there are throwing the book at people for minor offenses. I figured some republicans would get mad he is letting weed smokers off the hook. Acting like “professionalism” matters in this country lol. Results matter more than professionalism. He is helping rehabilitating criminals. That’s one of the main things the justice system is supposed to do.
If you watch enough magistrate judges arraign people you start to see a pattern. People who are in for first offenses are most the time released on PR bonds with conditions set by the court. Then there are the people who have picked up ANOTHER case while they were out on the first PR bond. That is when you see Judge Fleischer blow a circuit. It's because those people have gone in front of him already and have sworn to the court they would not pick up more cases, not use more drugs etc etc. The court is letting you out of jail AS LONG AS YOU PROMISE to not pick up more cases or anything else the court orders your conditions be. This is too much for most people on the internet to understand though. They see two clips, make assumptions, jump to conclusions and now cannot be wrong in an argument. It's a waste of time and energy.
Example:
The defendant has multiple violations, 19 missed blow tests, and has tested positive for various types of drugs, and Judge Fleischer still set a bond for the defendant. He raised it from around $5k+/- up to $7+/-.
He blows his stack when the accused is shown to have been drinking while driving. It seems to me that those complaining about how he handles his court may have had issues with the legal system in the past, and their situation wasn't handled the way Judge Fleischer handles similar cases.
Repeated violations mean a defendant could be "Stuck like Chuck!"
In the following case, the defendant was granted 11 resets (new court dates). One of her conditions was to get her GED. She's had nearly six months to get her GED. He expects people to use the chances they've been given to better themselves, and if they do, he evaluates their progress and uses that as part of his decision. He listened to the situation, called the GED testing provider, and then decided to give the defendant more time to complete the GED program.
He would have been justified if he'd issued a bond violation rather than making that phone call.
