THE ROBING ROOM

I wouldn't say Judge Besosa might be the worst judge I've ever seen. I would say that he IS the worst judge I've ever seen. The reviewers who said he doesn't understand pretrial motions and is 'very insecure' were spot on. His ability to delay ruling on motions (which he eventually decides in favor of the prosecution) is unparalleled. His best quality is that he is punctual, which is the robing room equivalent of getting a perfect attendance award--and we all know what a piece of crap that award is. Another nugget is that his deputy clerk thinks that a criminal defendant cannot add exhibits after the day of opening statements. He gets a 10 for general inclination in criminal cases, but that's only because a 10 is 100% pro-government. It's one thing to be wrong and be consistent, but when you're only wrong against the defense, that shows how pro-government he really is. Also, I swear I think he's playing brickbreaker on his Blackberry during the trial.
