I can almost guarantee SHE would NOT accept those excuses from a defendant in her courtroom! Get her OFF the bench and retry the cases she's ruled on!!!

Judges should be held accountable if they do not give the respect that we all deserve. Whether we are right or wrong everyone deserves respect.

Average person: I was on drugs and acted Off to jail you go
Judge: I was on drugs and acted badly.... Off to rehab you go and don't forget your sympathy, understanding and redemption with you...

[BrandyWilliams]

She should be completely disbarred.. if she feels that medication is causing this type of behavior then she should not be presiding over anybody! She needs to take her behind home and get herself together

[browdesignsbyjulia]

Disrespectful abusive and demeaning. Medication is no excuse and let’s look back at previous cases. Unprofessional completely and despicable.

[Rachell_H]

I agree with the lady on the panel. This is the judges true colors and this is how she really is on a daily basis

[pamsauder]

She isn’t qualified, I would guess she has always been that way, she is a bully 😢

[Bamatrucker]

She needs to be removed from the bench and disbarred

[Juanita-gfte]

She should be fired. She's not fit for the job and she's not the only family court judge I've seen like this.

[thomaswashburn]

I wonder how this judge would respond to a defendant who said “my meds made me do it.” She needs disciplinary action (not classes)… remove her from the bench!

[nikkihayes]

This crazy Judge appears to have alot, and I mean ALOT of 💩 going on in her own personal life. Still NO excuse!

[bluj]

That woman is unhinged and crazy. The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead

[harrisonhanson]

She didn’t just blow up this one time, she’s done this many times in her career & personal life. Give me a small break w this “drugs made me do it!” Excuse. If defendants can’t use that piss poor excuse that the judges hold us to otherwise drunk drivers & anyone who does anything while on drugs would walk free.

[pete]

She should be fired immediately. And no pension

[Lavender-blue]

The judge in the Richard Allen case should be tossed. She's biased, unfair and power hungry.

[donwiggins]

"Your children deserve a hell of a lot better than both of you" Judge you can't tell the truth in this world nowadays. People get offended when they hear that 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Kat-Rene]

It’s never appropriate to be demeaning, condescending and disrespectful. She did them all as a judge Sickening

[dawnmathis]

I don't know of any prescription medication that will cause you to act unprofessionally and scream like a lunatic. Nice try judge!

[u.synlig]

Her "medication" must be a daily 'powder'-binge! ❄ ❄ ❄

[beautybykaykay]

The judge in the karen read case is very BIAS. She comes off very unethical to me in my opinion. The huffing & puffing is so unnecessary and unprofessional.she really seemed to put certain rules (her own rules) into action to keep the coverup running hard in that courtroom. Seems like she is pushing superrrr hard to make it so that case does not ever get dismissed as well. There is strong reasonable doubt in that case that im sure any other judge wouldnt even have let it go to trial. She made sure she had that case and to see it through. I have questions.
