[PAR35]

What I want to know is of anything ever happened to the judge who let him off with that “defense.”

She found that she was able to comfortably retire shortly after making this ruling.

Thanks for the information about the judge. She may have had bribe money - or she may have known the family because they ran in the same circles. I’d guess that if the kid waived a jury trial, his family knew what judge they were getting and that it would turn out okay for them. Good ol’ boys (or girls) network.
