Treat him, like a regular person. This guy has no remorse. Lock him up he is guilty. I’m shocked at how corrupt this system
Is WOW!

The Judge Is Absolutely 100% Guilty ! 🔨

He texted friends and said he did it and wouldn't be into work.

How ? Just how 😂 the U.S justice system is so corrupt.

Trial won't be for 2 to 3 years? So he get's to walk free for that time? WOW! He'll never go to jail!!

He is not stupid. He is a judge. Did you think he was going to plead guilty... Wake up and smell the coffee...

I would imagine "I just lost it" just might imply guilt enough to keep him incarcerated for the few years he has left.

The not-guilty Plea is basically a no-brainer in this situation. Even if it was an accident he is somewhat responsible for her death so he will enter a plea bargain with the prosecutor since there were no witnesses. Involuntary Manslaughter is the choice.

Oh, did she slip and fall on the gun while it "accidentally" went off? Whatever lol

He complained while running for office that he couldn't retire because he had a teenager. He threatened to shoot himself before. He had mental health troubles and drank. He murdered his wife in front of his son. He almost shot his son.

Wait!.. so he’s free until trial or in custody?

Looks like a member of the "old whites or old grays" as they used to call them. Familial relation to the very wealthy original settlers of OC and surrounding areas. My half brother is related to them.
