Also, not to defend the judge but there is a factual error in that Rapkin did not release JS from custody but rather refused to issue a warrant.I am not positive in this, but I think what happened is as follows--
The parole officer sent a note to Rapkin saying Smith didn't pay a court fine (fee?) and tested positive for drugs (two violations). It was then up to the judge to decide whether Smith should return to jail. The judge did nothing (never sent him back, never had a hearing about it which is SOP) so they had to let him go.

You folks want to talk about judges not being accountable? Take a close look at Family Court judges! There IS NO court of appeals for the decisions THEY make. In fact, generally the cases are sealed.
Many so called "deadbeat dads" who are really loving, responsible parents are kept from their children and financially ruined by judges that many times carry the feminist battle flag. I'm sure there are those who have a pro-male bias as well, but I haven't seen many. This is scandalous, but you can't believe it really happens until it happens to YOU.
The problem in both cases is a lack of scrutiny by the public. I suspect that had the good citizens of Florida understood what Rapkin was doing, he would have been recalled. You never hear about these things until it's too late.
We need a better way of judging the judges!
