She shouldn't be coerced to make a plea deal by trumping up a false crime. This judge needs to be removed.

Ah, so you're assuming that's what happened. You're going with a sideways accusation by Richard Barbuto and running with it, without actually knowing it to be true. But hey, nobody could ever actually be guilty, right? Amazing.

Perhaps you'd better check who you're getting in bed with before you defend his turf. If you really want to join with Barbuto, good for you. Go wreak all the havoc you want; he'll get you off.

"Perhaps you'd better check who you're getting in bed with before you defend his turf."

I get the picture. As long as the judge is in your party, he can do no wrong. Such sycophantic reasoning may have it's short term advantages, but is ultimately corrosive.

I'm not really concerned about it as I'm confident the judge will be admonished by his peers in both parties and his idiotic ruling overturned.
