I’m not an attorney, but it seems to me to be a universal rule that no lawyer who is on the losing end of a judge’s decision ever comes out in public and criticizes the judge.

This includes prosecutors.

I’ve always assumed the reason for that is that time has taught the legal profession that criticizing a judge who rules against you in court is basically a career-ending move.

Marilyn Mosby seems not to have gotten that memo.

Blaming the judge...not usually a good idea.

I am an attorney. I argued my butt off yesterday in front of a judge. Lost all three motions and my client headed back to lockup. I smiled, nodded, and told the judge “thank you” and “see you on the 16th. Sometime down the road, when it’s a close call either way, the judge will remember how a rough day was handled. They don’t forget.

She’s an incompetent affirmative action hire... She should be disbarred for her behavior all over this matter. But she’s black, she’s a woman and she’s a democrat... So don’t hold your breath.

Not in the world of affirmative action.

I remember Obama blasting the Supreme Court in a State of the Union speech.
