The Asian food joke is not racial or at least it certainly didn't come off that way to me. It's about the distance the food would have had to travel and then it sat in port due to the backlog. My paternal grandmother used the term "colored people" her whole life because that's what she grew up with. The woman didn't have a racist bone in her body. If the ADA was a veteran would you have taken issue with the applause for veterans? I probably wouldn't have done it myself, but it's not a big deal and I don't see how it would be prejudicial.
Wow, you're gleaning a lot of information that I don't think exists. The judge has a stellar record as a bench officer. Did you read the article on the judge I posted earlier in this thread? It contained statements from attorneys that related how fair and consistent he is. He's had literally one case overturned on appeal, this is very impressive. A lot of your reticence as stated here are 100% pure conjecture and speculation. Would you rather have a bench officer who was just appointed yesterday? I sure as hell wouldn't.
So no one should be a judge for longer than how many years in your opinion? At what point, in your opinion, does experience change from being a positive to a negative factor?
One last question, do you find any fault with the prosecutor's handling of this case?
He has a wealth of experience in a broken system. Our criminal justice system sucks. I don't view this as a positive. Here is a google stat. Wisconsin imprisons 1 in 36 black adults the highest rate in the nation. https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/wisconsin-imprisons-1-in-36-black-adults-the-highest-rate-in-the-us/ And presiding over this case we have the longest serving judge in the state. Color me shocked. Would the longest serving judge in the state have anything to do with that stat?
Haven't been in many court rooms in my life. But if I was ever on trial and the judge told the room to give someone applause right before they testified against me I wouldn't be a happy camper no matter what the applause was for.
Didn't read it. I'm not very invested in this. Other than I would like to not see any American cities burning. So I wanted a fair trial.
8 years (I'll go with that answer today). Go be a lawyer if you like law that much. What are the benefits of an experienced judge? You know the intricacies of some of the lesser known laws and procedures on the books? Every case should be different. I don't see this as an occupation where you get better with experience like fixing cars, diagnosing illnesses, or making cupcakes.
Prosecutor seems to be doing a pretty bad job considering the judge already dismissed the FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN EMERGENCY ORDER FROM STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT charge. No idea how that didn't stick.
