If I were the real owners; I would bechecking to see what deals the judges and lawyer may had with each other and perhaps a land developer.
There’s always a trail and there has to be a reason why they did it(not necessairly anything more than to see if they can get away with it) I would be checking on this and I would not let up at all. Judges and lawyers of all people should know what’s right. These guy including the lawyer should be held accoutable.
The owner thinks the judge did this to protect his scenic view since the original owner was about to build a house on the vacant lot which would have interfered with the judges scenic view.
