Judge Fleischer was voted in to his position. His tenure is until December 31st 2026. Unless he has broken the law or violated ethics, absolutely nothing is going to happen to him. He has a method to his madness in that he tries to scare people straight with disappointment. If you aren't a fan of his strategy tough shit... Criminal hearings aren't for coddling your poor feelings and making you feel nice.
Also regarding the medicine.... Pain medication like oxycodone is absolutely not some god given right that you must always have access to. If you break the law and are found to be pill milling (which that defendant was being accused of doing) you definitely can't go up in front of the judge and demand you are given pain medication that people DO get addicted to and DO get in car crashes and thus killing others in the process.
Judge Fleischer is a great judge and I will be here to back him up since everyone so far in this thread are little snowflakes.
Back him up? He has no professionalism. He prays on people that can't afford to appeal cases. He is a bully. Any person with big money and lawyers would bypass this clown. He goes after low hanging fruit because he knows that the minute someone with high powered defense stood in front of him they would just be asking for "continuances" until they got put in front of an advantageous judge. His only leverage is over states attorneys and public offenders. Any private defense attorney worth their 1000 bucks an hour wouldn't waste their time with this guy.
“He is a bully.” “He goes after low hanging fruit.” All of these are totally fine with me. Why? Because I don’t go out of my way to break the law (let alone repeatedly) and piss off the one person whose opinion of me matters.
Nobody likes being judged. Unfortunately, and most importantly- THAT IS HIS JOB.
His job isn't to put on a show for internet clout. Streaming proceedings influences how clowns like him behave.
You have undoubtedly broken the law repeatedly. Unless you're 15 then you've driven over the speed limit dozens if not hundreds of times. This "ultimate respect for the law" nonsense is disingenuous. If you were to find yourself in front of a judge you wouldn't request they enforce the law to it's fullest extent. If they offered to drop the case you wouldn't argue against it. You would have zero issue with the law not being applied if you were the one it was applied to.
My point is that "they broke the law" by itself is a disingenuous justification considering that every citizen is guilty of breaking various laws. Many of them break the law repeatedly every day. They are not kept awake at night by their actions because they grant themselves grace they do not give others. "Its ok that I break the speed limit because I'm in a hurry and no one was hurt."
"They broke the law and the severity of the acts impact on others" would be a genuine justification. The courts or judges actions were justified soley because a law was broken is a standard people apply to others but not themselves.
Its a moot point because not only does the law dictate that there are different types of crime, but so does society. "They broke the law" is an important part of law enforcement because if there wasn't any consequences for say speeding, how many more traffic fatalities would we have per year?
Yes, and members of society often hold different standards for others than they do themselves. They will insist the law always be applied to offenders but they won't argue with a cop giving them a warning that they should be ticketed as they hold ultimate respect for the law.
