    Wow, regardless of what the facts of the case are I can't believe that he acted that way.

    I don't understand how he states that he is too angry/personally involved to continue with the case but does not immediately recluse himself but rather continue to make ruling for the next ten plus minutes.

    As a question for those a bit more in the know, is it criminal for the Judge to threaten the guy with jail time and other various threats without having any substantial proof (let alone that his accusations would need to be proven in front of a jury)?
    I would tend to think so but apparently after a bit of good old google the guy had filed a complaint about the judges behavior but the circuit court refused to see it (presuming that it's their jurisdiction).

    Had a Ped that I interrogated and got a confession from, threaten to "get even with those he felt were at fault" for his situation. This was after we were done with the investigation and before his trial. Military doesn't incarcerate before trial unless they are a threat to their self or others or to run. Ya, he got a talking to and we almost put him in pre-trial confinement.

    Seriously, I guarantee this judge knows this guy and what he's capable of doing. This isn't a criminal court either. It's a divorce. There is a different set of standards for recusing himself. This guy is trying to intimidate the judge into doing what he wants. IMO, he justified in ripping this guy a new ass.

    The schmuck that gave out pictures and addresses of a public official doing nothing but his job in an effort to manipulate him? Na, I would defend that POS, ever. I would contemplate something much worse that yelling at him though.

    According to the news article attached to the video the guy denied giving it to the reporter and there is absolutely no proof to suggest that he did. The Judge just assumed that he did it. Correlation does not equal causation.

    Really.


    A competent judge would have realized that he could not be impartial and had an ethical, maybe even legal obligation to recuse himself. If the pastor did provide a photo of the judges house, it was stupid, but not illegal. The pastor also made an error by not employing an attorney.

    Justice is supposed to be blind in the USA. A judge is never to use his court room to settle personal vendettas. A new judge should erase all rulings made by this idiot and start over.
