THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Townes is a pro-government judge who in my view was unprepared to hear this case and went about her job as though it were to find a reason to justify putting a contibuting member of society in prison purely as a form of punishment rather than consider what might be in the best interests of society as a whole. In my case, she simply disregarded a wealth of information from experts and deemed herself better equipped to make a determination as to motives in the case. She dismissed written statements from doctors and instead decided these doctors were convinced to offer incorrect diagnoses that were the result of a lie by the defendant. One would need to be a pretty good liar to convince a medical professional to diagnose an illness that does not exist. Frankly, my view of Judge Townes is that she has become so hardened at sending people to prison that she is unable to believe that some defendents who are tried in her court are actually good people who have found themselves in trouble. She simply could not comprehend th defendent before her was not just another criminal she needed to get off the street. Very sad and certainly not someone I am proud to say represents the justice system in the U.S.
