Well done, good sir.
The defense should say this is a mistrial, due to the Judge looking and acting too much like Whoopie Goldberg.
I guess Judge White didn’t consider the deceased’s offence to be “Rape-rape”.
LOL!!!
How About Another Example Of How Terrible A Judge Trudy White Is?

Not that our readers don’t already know Trudy White, the previously-suspended judge of the 19th Judicial District Court’s criminal division, is terrible. But an item surfaced last week just after we had posted an update on the awful Earl Coleman case, in which White doesn’t seem to see the need to incarcerate a convicted child rapist with any degree of haste despite the fact he’s living just down the street from his victim and her family, there was this…
A rare case that caused outrage has concluded with a reinstated murder conviction that will send a convicted man to prison for the rest of his life.
The case was profiled in a report by the 9News Investigators, which took a look into some of Judge Trudy White’s cases.
In September of 2015, Derrick Bland was unanimously convicted of second degree murder by a jury in the shooting death of James Stockton. However, Judge White overruled the verdict and changed it to negligent homicide.
White said Bland was drunk and that the state did not prove that he had specific intent to kill Stockton. “We have been going through so much since we lost the king of our family,” said Stockton’s sister, Rosalind Ford.
Ford says her family finally has peace and her brother can rest now that the man accused of killing him will spend the rest of his life behind bars. “We’re a close bonded family, so life has been tough without my brother,” she added.
Second degree murder requires a person to spend the rest of their life in jail, while negligent homicide only has a maximum sentence of five years behind bars. After the ruling, East Baton Rouge Parish DA Hillar Moore brought the case to an appeals court to try to reverse Judge White’s ruling.
“It’s extremely rare for a court to take a verdict away from a jury, particularly in criminal cases. I’ve seen it maybe in some civil cases, but particularly with jury verdicts in criminal cases, extremely rare. Maybe a handful of cases in the 40 years that I’ve heard of,” said Moore.
The appeals court issued its ruling, saying “we reverse the trial court’s ruling granting the motion for post-verdict judgment of acquittal, reinstate the jury’s verdict finding defendant guilty of second-degree murder.”
The brand of malpractice Judge White has made a pattern of isn’t just injurious to the cause of justice, it’s frightening to law and order. We won’t repeat some of the things said by Stockton’s family about the case, because they’re emotionally-driven even a couple of years after the fact, but in cases like this one and in the Earl Coleman case there is a real danger of vigilante justice – when a judge inexplicably refuses to recognize and punish the clear guilt of a criminal in an outrageous crime with a clear victim, the victim or his survivors lose faith in the law and are tempted toward revenge. That’s not to excuse those actions or to predict the Stockton or Coleman family are going to do something, but it is to say that we want the law and those enforcing it to be the principal actor all involved are concerned with when it comes to dealing with criminal wrongs.
And when a Trudy White turns the law into a circus, and people don’t think there will be justice found in her courtroom, that’s how you get vengeance and blood feuds and chaos on your streets.
Something terrible will eventually happen as a result of this judicial idiocy, and when it does the Louisiana Supreme Court will probably regret merely suspending White for 90 days last fall.
When I was much younger I had a friend whose Father would sit and watch the news and go off on rants—one of his rants was “If I was in charge, the first thing I would do is hang all the Judges”. My friend and I would laugh at the crazy old man but now as I am older and wiser—I have to say he was right all along. The idiot a-hole judges are responsible for so much of the ills in society today—everything is upside down.
Judge Trudy White apologizes to colleagues for 2014 campaign video
BY JOE GYAN MAR 10, 2017 -

State District Judge Trudy White, who returned to the bench in February following an unexplained three-month hiatus, has apologized to her colleagues and the public for appearing in a video during her 2014 re-election campaign with a man in an orange prison jumpsuit who promoted her candidacy inside a courtroom.
White, in a hand-delivered letter Wednesday to her fellow 19th Judicial District Court judges, says she has “learned from this experience and the aftermath, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that such a situation never happens again.”
White, who has steadily refused to say why she was gone from the bench, did not respond to requests for comment after The Advocate on Friday obtained a copy of the letter to judges. The Louisiana Supreme Court, which oversees the panel that reviews judicial behavior, refused to say anything about the matter.
White sent a similar letter by certified mail to Baton Rouge television station WBRZ, apologizing to the citizens of the Baton Rouge area and the entire state.
The man in the video, comedian Jomo Jenkins, stated in the video, “I’m down here at the 19th but check this out, I ain’t gonna be here that long ‘cause Judge Trudy White is fixin’ to send me back home. So if you want somebody to show you some love, vote for Trudy White on November the 4th.”
In her letter of apology to the 19th Judicial District judges, White says she understands how a reasonable person might interpret Jenkins’ prison rap character’s statements “to mean that, if re-elected, I would treat defendants in criminal cases with leniency.”
This *judge* is stunning. Thank you for the documented background details - it is beyond imagination.
I wonder if the end of the ‘hiatus’ coincided with our wiping out of some ISIS camps....
This person does more to bring down our nation every day in the normal course of her work than any 10 random wanna-be Jihadis do in a career.
Why didn’t he go after the affirmative action judge?
His only mistake was to admit he planned it and was glad he did it.
Could have claimed it was an argument that went too far.
If I was on that jury I would have nullified... no doubt about it.
>White said Bland was drunk and that the state did not prove that he had specific intent to kill Stockton. “We have been going through so much since we lost the king of our family,” said Stockton’s sister, Rosalind Ford.
This sadly isn’t an isolated case. Liberal judges are doing everything possible to let criminals off the hook. It’s the same sort of Choas that caused the huge rise in crime in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It’s not hard to do either, you just set the bar of evidence so high that no one can possibly meet it.
The courts need to be purged of all leftist elements. They’re not capable of upholding justice.
They should get... 5 years unsupervised probation.
= = = = = =
That is a little harsh isn’t it?
To satisfy ‘Justice’ maybe fine them a buck apiece, payable at a penny a year.
That way once a year they can get together and reminisce.
>His only mistake was to admit he planned it and was glad he did it.
>Could have claimed it was an argument that went too far.
It’s refreshing to see people speak the truth about their actions.
The have an Uruk-Hai for a judge?
I’ve got a dirty floor mop that looks better than that.
Why do I feel that had the victim been black the judge would have acted differently?
Trump, we all know you have lurkers here. If anyone deserves a pardon, Mr. Crehan does. He took out a child rapist some idiot judge left on the streets. We will never know how many children’s innocence Mr. Crehan saved.
.
This verdict needs to be corrected!
Capital punishment for the judge comes to mind.
The boyfriend should get the medal of honor.

Pre-meditated murder means he could be sentenced to life in jail. Manslaughter could mean he would be out in 3-5 years. He's got a baby on the way too.
