In general one can almost always predict what a judge is going to do. American judge instinctively favor the criminal element as the trial judge did in this case. Once the left has total control of the appellate judiciary the innocent will have no chance.
I had to go before a judge only once. A cleaning service stiffed us...we paid them to clean and they didn't do it.
Well, I stood before the judge and had done ALL MY HOMEWORK. As I was still talking the judge was writing out the verdict in my favor. I won the case cuz I had dotted ALL my "i's" and crossed ALL my "t's".
My mother remembers that AS SOON as I got home from ELEMENTARY school I started in on and finished all my homework. I wasn't as smart as my sister or parents so I inculcated a WORK ETHIC very soon to make up for it.
