I, like many others, had a knee jerk "typical lib" reaction when one of his decsions was in the news last week. I am still not sure I agree with this decision.

I will say this however, everyone has had nothing but good things to say about Judge Barnes. Defense Attorneys and Prosecutors, alike. The opinions were sincere.

They all say he was good at what he did, he did what he thought was right and he was one of the good buys.

I'm taking those opinions into consideration, as should you.
