but also thats a good lesson but idk if a judge should do somthing like that, if they might b a violent criminal, keep em and try them

if 2 months later, everything is great, then the new judge steps up and starts handing out sentences his way anyhow, so no harm, no foul.

If 2 months later, everything is fucked, then it kinda tells the voters they probably fucked up, didn't they? And it sets a standard for the new judge, so he'll either be forced to keep letting violent teens go wild, or have to step up and be just as strict as the last judge (which they'll hate).

i agree with what hes doing idk if he has the right to

He does though.

He's the judge.

i guess, idk im not to educated on this, it just kinda seems sketch relesing suspected violent crimials

since they're all having their hearings in january anyhow, all he's done is decide wether to hold them in jail until then, or release them until the hearings.
Judges decide stuff like that all the time.

oh

usually with bail amounts attached

nm

i read the article differently

"The cases will be heard again on 4 January, when Judge Devlin's replacement, Natalia Oakes, takes the bench."

kk ty

as i said i just skimed it

there's multiple hearings before the actual trial, often many cases decided even before going to trial.

ik

i skimed it and just saw this 'In a statement, Sharon Watkins Jones, of the Texas ACLU, said: "It is improper for a judge to make orders motivated by partisan interests or spite as a result of his political loss."

that will teach me to actually read things

ty for the claification

he didn't just have like a hundred trials back to back and tell everyone they can go free, these were just pretrial hearings and he let them all off without bail. Nothing more.
Like I said, it's almost neglect on the surface and as a hard liner, he's on record as him and 1 other judge, collectively, being responsible for 1 in 5 of all juvenilles in jail.

This is really just a solid and fair reaction of "This is really what you want? ... Okay, fine. I'll let the guy you voted in handle it then. Have a nice day!"

if it was actually their trials, the constitution would protect them from having another trial. Double jeopardy. Once they got off, they're free and clear, even if they're disgustingly guilty.

But as I said. not their trials, just a hearing.

k that makes sense that quote was pretty misleading

neat little part of our legal system we learned from the English Aristocracy. Where if they didn't like the outcome of a trial against a peasant, they could bring them back in for trial again over the same charges.

Yeah This article is clearly skewed to try to paint him as just letting major criminals free out of spite. Yes what he did may be slightly spiteful, but it's in no way illegal or even immoral.

This is why you always have to be careful about bais in articles like this. And why I was so eager to just smile and say this guy is a badass.

If any judge actually walked into a bunch of trials and let violent criminals off free, I'd absolutely be pissed and hate that guy.

But there's a HUGE difference.

In other news, there's now a recount in FL.

oh god, for what reason now

Broward county has been releasing new votes...and it's been pushing the democrats up to where they're allowed to order a recount. Gilliam actually rescinded his concession earlier.

Broward has a history of corruption too. They were at the center of the recount madness in 2000.

And that's only scratching the surface.

Rubio goes on a rant and lists a bunch of election-related shenanigans that's happened in Broward.

*headdesk* goddamnit. It figures. This is what you get from the county that voted that fucking bitch Debbie Wasserman Schultz back into office.

she steals the nomination from Bernie, and now she's trying to fuck with the elections

Broward County were at the middle of the Parkland Shooting and totally fucked up

Why aren't the feds bulldozing them and get Israel in Jail?
