I don't need to know any other facts other than he sentenced a kid to jail for a cellphone.

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.
