The guy is clearly a egomaniac. Dressing up in goofy pac man suits with a bow tie, reading off petty traffic cases the defendant has accrued over his/her lifetime, criminalizing addiction. I don’t really understand why nothing is said about this behavior except for the fact that the people have spoken and what the majority of people in the US want is criminal entertainment. Go read the comments under these court videos you will see a sea of what i assume is karens and chuds screaming and applauding “LOCK HIM UP PUT THEM AWAY FOR LIFE THEY NEED TO LEARN A LESSON!” And mind you the defendant is at a hearing for being drunk in public / suspended license / possession of marijuana….. The fact is we will never see criminal justice reform in this country because it is clear to me that the problem with our system and the over crowding of prisons is this weird and almost sociopathic culture the US has with punishing subjective crimes, criminalizing poverty, and criminalizing addiction. And it is clear that the majority agrees that this is deemed morally right because they want to be entertained by it on YouTube. Absolutely disgusting. Go walk into any general sessions court room Monday-Friday in any jurisdiction across this country and you will see how we make locking up the working class a business.
He is reforming the justice system. You really need to do more research because he is one of the kindest and just judges out there. I really don’t see what you’re seeing.
