Visiting judge.... Visiting judge from the place where the rich people live....
O god no.... No, no....Everybody continue EVERYTHING to another date. Doesn't matter when.
Stick around to watch the fireworks though, because this guy clearly doesn't handle this many cases of this severity and/or hasn't for several years. It's painful just to watch the gears muck up and grind to a terrible halt from this guy taking so long on everything.... Like, 7 lawyers just sitting around watching this visiting judge to see what he does and how he makes a mess of things. Too bad there's no food in court, cause we could go for some snacks with this
catastrophe show....
Shoplifter being arraigned: normal time in front of the judge not including wait time ~ maybe a couple minutes. Today 15....
Several felony arraignments on drug charges. We call this the 10:00AM usual; visiting judge sees major concerns....
Lunch break between morning and afternoon court cases? What lunch break? Visiting judge spends 12 minutes berating a panhandler not to beg for change..... He's poor, that's what he does.... I bet you he'll be back doing it again as soon as they let him out. Meanwhile the lines are getting longer. Visiting judge will be there with overflow cases until court closes and would be there after (if that were possible, but it isn't).
Meanwhile we're just sitting by and watching the train wreck of how this judge from the ritzy area deals with the real world. Why yes, there is an absolute crapton of cocaine and heroine floating around this place.... This is the real wold as opposed to whatever portion of suburbia you hail from....
