A very curious mixture of a witty, wise, and insightful jurist one minute and an absolutely condescending arrogant fool the next. Overall a good judge, but capable of abuse.

Completely unprofessional on a frequent basis. Rude and believes he is imbued with godlike powers.

Biased and arrogant. Vengeful and totally pro-prosecution.

Good Judge - fair, quick on the decisions, but appreciates the nuances of most cases. Certainly better than average.
