Well, the one good thing about this sorry story is that Judge Morley is jobless. We should instead have a law that allows idiot judges to be sent to Singapore to get their asses caned. They can fly back immediately following the caning. YES. 13+ HOURS. SITTING./s;)
“Morley (who lost his job when Gov. Christie declined to reappoint him in June because of rulings in unrelated cases)”
I suspect these are two of the unrelated cases:

Morley sounds like he’s not only got a God complex, but like he’s also kind of a perv, too.
Thank you Governor!
Assholes! How they could destroy this guy’s life on these grounds is criminal in and of itself. It’s like one grand conspiracy involving a sitting judge.
I wonder if the Governor can intervene ...
He should never have consented to searching his car. They had no charges and no warrant.
another reason to give the state of NJ a wide berth...
MEANWHILE, Just across the border from The People’s Republic of Zoo Jersey ——
The Pennsylvania House, this afternoon, passed a bill giving the state’s citizens the right not to retreat from assailants.
The 161-35 vote for HB 1926 follows a 45-4 vote made Oct. 14 in the state Senate. It now goes to Gov. Ed Rendell, an outspoken opponent of self-defense rights, for his signature.
The margins in both house would be enough to overturn any veto, however.
The bill says that a person employing protective force may estimate the necessity thereof under the circumstances as he believes them to be when the force is used, without retreating, surrendering possession, doing any other act which he has no legal duty to do or abstaining from any lawful action.
"Battle of Athens" time. This crap has got to stop.
It says the jury was looking for reasons to acquit him. They should have used jury nullification. All FReepers should acquaint themselves with this legal right of a juror. Just search “jury nullification.”
Mr. Aitken will eventually have his conviction thrown out, just like accused day-care-molester Margaret Kelly Michaels who served eight years in prison on an equally absurd set of “facts”. But he will never be compensated for the injustice he has suffered. That’s Jersey!
If a law is sufficiently complicated that people have trouble complying with it, it should be repealed.
That is an insane story. The crime shouldn’t even be a crime in light of McDonald, and yet it still reads like a conspiracy to make him look guilty. I hope he gets released and the law changed.
