Do you want a judge with no legal training, who may not believe in such things as a fair trial, bail, or the presumption of innocence?

A horrifing three-part series in the Times shows us that exactly that is happening all over New York State.

God, I read the first article and have the other two awaiting me on my commute home and I am so f*%$ing angry.

The town justice where I grew up was in the same building as the snow plows.

I noticed all three sections were about courts upstate. How about the crap that goes on down here? It's just as bad!

Remember the guy who was on trial and the judge let the guy leave through the back door of her chambers?

I have to wonder if there are any ethical judges left in this whole damned state.
