"I'm guessing you've had some problem with authority figures in your past, and that's why you so slavishly side with the defendant, "

this is about the fourth time on this thread that someone has argued that I must have problems with authority figures or must be a criminal of some kind. Quite the contrary, I don't see this judge as an authority figure, but as a punk imposter of a judge. I don't need to know any other facts other than he sentenced a kid to jail for a cellphone. He needs to be removed and I assume some authentic 'authority figures' will remove him, if not for this, then for some other outrageous miscarriage of justice. If the guy is not admonished for this he will only hurt the process and hurt his own future.

Nice open mind. I can argue about a hundred scenarios where this would be justified. I can argue about a hundred scenarios where this would be unjustified. All are feasible, given the dearth of facts in this case. If you're sincerely interested, I could lay some out for you - but they're all notional at this point, and I doubt you'd acknowledge them.

You, on the other hand, are a one-trick pony. You have no knowledge of the sentencing history of this judge, you have no knowledge of the comportment of the defendant, you have the thinnest veneer of an allegation of impropriety by a Geragos-caliber defense attorney, and yet you dance, and dance, and dance.
