THE ROBING ROOM

I was surprised to see her sitting on the bench. When she started to open her mouth, I thought she was a novice prosecutor who forgot that her seat was in the front row and not next to the witness. Her actions were biased beyond belief and once she started to argue the case on behalf of the prosecution the whole courtroom understood what she had done. A judge's duty is to provide just rulings and check their biases at the door. This judge not only brought her biases to the court room but also her 25 years of experience as a prosecutor and the whole DA's office.
