You, on the other hand remind me of lawyers I know that think they are always right. It seems to me that we can have a debate over this issue without being condescending.
I did not intend to be 'condescending' and apologize if it came across that way. I am tired of people here insulting the judge and suggesting he was taking money, just because they don't like the result.
That was what my comment was directed to. I have had many clients over the years who, if they lost the case, said the judge was 'on the take.' They simply couldn't envision that an honest judge might weigh the evidence differently than they did. I told them precisely what I said here, "consider the possibility that he might be right and you might be wrong."
