His cell phone went off during a trial.
A judge, whom is working at a very important job, that just happens to hold one's life (to an extent) in the balance, doesn't have the courtesy, class and professionalism, to TURN OFF HIS DAMN PHONE?!
Hell, if this happens in church of all places, the, "offender," (in quotes because it's not like they committed a crime) is admonished at worst, embarrassed at best.
And it's not because of the cell phone going off itself, it's because the lack of awareness, decency, selflessness and most of all, respect for the surroundings, why it is looked down upon.
It's the smallest thing imaginable, but it paints a picture that perhaps, this judge is either not taking things seriously or just doesn't care about upholding the level of maturity and class one is to expect from a judge. That and the Asian comment is preposterous, but I wanted to shed light on how the smallest thing displays his lack of conduct.
I work alone, at a desk in a large room, away from everyone and I STILL have my phone on vibrate, even though it is perfectly acceptable to look at your phone on the job. Why? Because I have respect for my surroundings and my job.
So GTFO here with defending his conduct; a monkey can be more professional than this guy.
I had to read this twice, and after doing so I am pleading with you to tell me this post was made as a joke. I've been in court on numerous occasions when someone's phone went off, and yes that's included some bench officers. That you can take that one incident and use it to condemn the judge as incompetent, biased or in any way bad at his job is honestly mind boggling.
