@@cnnothingburgerletsgobrand6381 what are you thanking her horric behavior is what people remember from watching the trial. when they should be remembering the horrific behavior of the defendant!! 😖😖
The defense lawyer actually saying that no one has been victimized as much as they have when the courtroom was full of parents that lost their child because of their defendant was ridiculous. They were caught snickering and laughing with their client during this trial.
They said in the COURTROOM and they were right. That judge was a poser who cared too much about the cameras
I agree, they were so insensitive to the victims families, disrespectful towards the judge, and totally unprofessional. This case lasted five years…If I was the judge, and had to deal with these immature attorneys I would have ripped my hair out.
I actually thought this woman was over emotional and catty.
@@marysunshine5587 Me too. Very unprofessional.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think people were in the courtroom when the defense lawyer said that.
What I really want to know is what has happened to the defense team since this trial. Their behavior was atrocious. Flipping off the judge, blatant disrespect for the families, etc!
they got paid
Nothing, the judge is apparently the problem, which she wasn’t. She did everything right. These comments on the video is crazy cause they think the judge is wrong and not the defense and the shooter 🤦🏽♂️💯
FAKE COURT OPERATED BY PRIVATE MILLITARY ALL ACTORS
Did u watch every minute of the trial? If u did u would know the judge wasn't even in the room! Nor was court in session. This is the problem with everything in America right now. You repeat what you HEARD from a third party source without knowing the actual basic foundation for the actual truth. Then people spread it around as fact. And that is how EveryThing gets misconstrued. People don't want to put in the time or energy to receive the information straight from the actual source, they just want to believe what someone's conclusion online was, an exaggeration. And then comment it as a fact. It's ridiculous. (I'm not here to argue about the case or the middle finger) I'm merely pointing out the facts of what's wrong with our media and our country!!
@@TimmyTOnTheFly
Uh? Nobody is saying that the shooter isn't wrong. But saying the judge was in the right is wrong too.
The first clip of the judge telling off the defense isn't just ridiculous, but it shows the hypocrisy of the judge. The defense was upset after the parents of some of the victims brought up the children of the defense council during victim impact statements. The defense obviously wasn't happy about that, and for the judge to get emotional and start berating the defense, then act outraged when defense brought up the idea of the judge's children being mentioned PROVES WHAT THE DEFENSE WAS SAYING.
“nO oNeS hAd tO eNdUre wHat wE hAve” the disrespect to the families was crazy
@@mauricemaurice123 no it’s a meme you boomer
@@mauricemaurice123just got WiFi?
That statement was very clearly directed to the lawyers and NOT the families. Stop twisting words to fit your agenda.

Why are you typing like an autistic?
they were literally acting like children and not listening to the JUDGE. so disrespectful
What do you think of the way the defence behaved in the Darrell Brooks trial? What do you think about the way the judge dealt with it?
Defense was so disrespectful …awful behavior in a court room.
Doesn’t matter, the judge was not level headed.
@random19911004
It doesn’t matter what you think.
The response was appropriate given the lawyer’s actions.

Yeah that reaction she had “about her kids” was the worst for me.
That judge was a poser who cared too much about the cameras
This was one of the most disrespectful defense teams I've ever seen. They pretty much all should have been charged with contempt of court at least. She handled it like a champ for how the defense acted. Honestly, I think that people would have lashed out worse if they were in her position. That team had her at the end of her rope.
That judge was a poser who cared too much about the cameras, she was unprofessional which why SHE was found to have engaged in official misconduct. They saw more evidence than you. I watched the whole trial and could even see she was a bad judge.
@@lauralishes1dude calm down
@lauralishes1 do not disagree about the judge, however, the entire defense team should be disbarred
@@lauralishes1lmao. She was a phenomenally good judge. You have no clue what you're talking about. It might be that you're jealous that a beautiful young woman like her is also an amazing judge.
@@lauralishes1you wouldn’t say that if the judge was a man
Easily one of the most heartbreaking cases I've read up on. Doubt she will read this, but Ms. Scherer, continued well wishes to you and your family. She seems like a wonderful person.
I 2nd this. This was a heartbreaking case & I applaud her for how she refused to let defense council turn her courtroom into a circus. I have so much admiration for you, Ms. Scherer, and I’ll be watching for your book!
Wonderful person perhaps, but terrible judge to become emotional. Judges should maintain cool, express professionalism and remain unbiased. She did none of that.
Agreed. I thought she had done an exceptional job. These cases are extremely emotional & heart-wrenching. Even judges are human. But that defense’s behavior was totally unprofessional throughout most of what I observed. Who brushes their hair at the defense table? Who flips the bird during trial? I wonder if anyone on the defense was reprimanded. I’m happy to hear from the judge herself how/why she left the benc & Im glad to know that she’s doing well.
She isn’t. If you aren’t from Broward you wouldn’t know about her or her background. She was married to a drug dealer and when he got arrested , she divorced him so it wouldn’t go public and destroy her reputation. She was well aware of it, and this case was assigned to her to make give her credibility
@@nancygreen1655 Although the flipping the bird incident was unprofessional to say the least, court was not in session.
The defense team was unprofessional and childish. I back the judge on this!!🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Same
I agree but the emotionality of the judge has no place here,thats why we shouldn’t have women in the realm of law

@juliang-c4882 😂😂😆 We shouldn't have women in anything that doesn't involve knitting, sewing, cooking, cleaning or getting on their back.
GET OVER IT! You don't like the way the law works, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Love this fabulous lady. She stood her ground and demanded courtroom decorum in her own way. Her passion may have unnerved people but bless her heart, she is human and she is strong.
She's weak, LIKE YOU!
I didn’t disagree with ANYTHING she said.
I’ve never seen a more disrespectful defence team.
But they technically didn’t threaten her kids. Her emotions took over
@@travislebroni agree he was just pointing out how inappropriate it was for her to allow that being said.
Lol. I'm sure she's grateful for your support as she looks for another job. Lol. Cry.
Love Elizabeth Scherer! She was 100% awesome with such a tough trial.
I agreed with the Judge and felt that the Defense attorneys were despicable
The former judge was the one who got publicly reprimanded for her conduct while none of the defense attorneys were.
That’s because you’re a simple minded fool . She was clearly out of line and acted unprofessional/immaturely
@@antiafrosvengalis I mean she was hugging the prosecution in open court, this is clear bias. Whether you like the defense or not she also lied about the threat because she misunderstood. This was all unprofessional on her part. I think because people are upset with the verdict they like her but in reality her bias is unprofessional she is supposed to be neutral.
@@antiafrosvengalisYep, Judge Vanity was the worst in the case outside of the Defendant. Thanks to her, Cruz has a chance to appeal and get a retrial dragging it out more for the victims families because Judge Vanity needed her 15 minutes of fame
@@antiafrosvengalisthe defence attorneys are under investigation by the bar.
I think you did an excellent job as anjudge. Especially when that female lawyer flipped someone off, laughed, etc. The whole team was a joke. Extremely disrespectful. I've never seen anything like it.
Wtfff an attorney flipping someone else in a court room ?? Wow just wow ! I would’ve held her in contempt.
I agree, i thought she was as great judge, standing up against those bullies & gasballs. She was way better than the judge in the oxford shooter now.
She was way to light to do this case.
@@Milkymilk07 Court wasn't in session, but yes it was unprofessional.
@@lizdk1999 On the face of it, the Oxford shooter case (Jennifer Crumbley) is fascinating because someone not directly involved in the tragedy is being tried for their alleged part in it. However, the defence attorney's behaviour is "eccentric" and the judge...... She may as well not be there; no presence at all.
So horrified that they didn't discipline the defense attorney, but disciplined or reprimanded her? Sure. Ok.
I have so much admiration for Judge Scherer. She held her ground when she needed to in a horrible case and highly visible situation. I would stand and clap for her anytime.
no, she lost it
Her behaviour was embarrassing. Not fit to be a judge
@@Mike-gc1fnThat's why she was reprimanded and had to step down.
Why? She lost her temper, was run off the bench and publicly reprimanded by the Florida Bar Association.
It's amazing people are saying her behaviour was embarrassing when she was strict and yet at the same time people think Judge Darrow was too patient with DB. Weird.
This school system, along with the social services department of this county FAILED these victims! Cruz’s earlier teacher warned that this EXACT SCENARIO would happen, and that he needed immediate intervention and help. She contacted her principal, the superintendent of the school system, social services, etc. SHE WAS IGNORED BY ALL. As a teacher, I can’t imagine the grief she must feel, wondering if she did enough. Sad!

There was such a long record of his threatening behavior in school. He should have been locked up somewhere before he even got to high school!
Thank you for having Elizabeth on your show. She did a great job overseeing this trial and the jury that got it wrong.
GREAT interview Jesse!!
I feel for her for having to be the judge on that case. It was so unfair to the victims and, OMG the Clowns the defense had for attorneys was a 💩 show circus....
Good luck with your new career path!
No. Our judges cannot be like the rest of us.
Sorry but this judge is the kinda judge we need more of and a breath of fresh air!!!
Binaca! Cunn a lingus. 😮💨
THIS JUDGE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER HER COURTROOM‼
God bless this former judge and all the families affected by this horrible act. 🙏
Religious nut
18:03: In the end, this attorney (former judge) was the one who ended up disciplined by the Florida State Bar and none of the defense attorneys.
The defense was awful to the judge and to the parents, in an effort for a mistrial! The judge was incredible and patient with them
I still cannot understand why he did not get the death penalty 😢
only takes one far-left, criminal-loving jury member to veto it
Probably because there were 3 bleeding heart liberals on the jury🤷♀️
Because there wasn’t a unanimous vote for it. What’s so hard to understand
WHO THE LAWYER. 🤔🙏🇬🇧
Because if there is one vote against the death penalty- it doesn’t happen. There was a lot of evidence on his upbringing and what him and his sister went through. One person based on that would definitely vote against it
What a great interview. I followed this trial closely and had some of the same questions that were asked and answered here. Look forward to her book.
some of the most unprofessional process and procedures i’ve ever witnessed.
Watching the defense during this entire trial was absolutely infuriating. He qualified for every aspect of the death penalty. The state met every reason for the death penalty.
Pleadkng guilty should not get death else what is point pleading gullty
In the words of Donald Trump, after the Iowa School Shooting, GET OVER IT!
This kid will get his in prison. They are gonna take him out as soon as he hits the yard.
@@waffleseigle3138 LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!
@@marvinfloyd6624you’re kidding, right?
May God continue to heal the shattered hearts of all those affected by this evil and senseless atrocity including your heart as well Judge Scherer. I watched most of the trial. You displayed an unprecedented professional demeanor through the entire trial. Do not allow anyone to question your integrity. No one with a human mind and heart would have done as well as you let alone better than you. May God continue to bless our legal system with you and more like you.
That judge was a poser who cared too much about the cameras, she was unprofessional which why SHE was found to have engaged in official misconduct. They saw more evidence than you. I watched the whole trial and could even see she was a bad judge.
Stop believing in things that don't exist because you're weak
The mythical entity that your delusion leads you invoke is also invoked by the supporters of free access to the type of weapons of war that are used to murder schoolchildren. Cleanse your life of fantasy, support life. Be consistent and fact-based.
She is very angry and none professional and I heard nobody threaten her children….
Ladies and gentlemen we have found a mother in the comments who would defend her criminal son no matter what evidence there was. “He did nothing! He was a good boy!” We’ll let you live in denial about reality…… Good luck.
It's a threat if a lawyer says "if it happened to your children..." He brought the idea about her children. Judges are under threats all the time. It is very dangerous to remind the public that she/he has children. That's an indirect threat under the law. Judges have to be protected and lawyers know that.
Not that I approve her management and communications skills. She may not be a good judge but, what that lawyer said was very low-level, dangerous and could be considered as a threat.
this judge didn’t deserve ANY of the backlash that she received.
I disagree, she poorly handled the situation.
With that said it is her courtroom and lawyers from both sides were disrespectful on various levels which should not have been allowed.
@@BrandonWestfall ok cool thanks for the commentary
You probably suppoet Amber heard

What does a criminal have to do to get the death penalty? this sentence was ridiculous
In Florida for the death penalty the verdict has to be unanimous. There were 3 jurors that voted against it
Thank you so much for sharing your point of view on this particular matter despite how difficult and heart wrenching this case is and was ❤
As unprofessional, and abhorrent, that the defense lawyers were, that lawyer did not threaten her children. But it is true that he shouldn't have mentioned her children at all.
Yes, and the defense attorney should have understood that the parents of the victims were absolutely feeling victimized further by the defense team's unprofessional and flippant and callous behavior. He took it personally for being called out by the parent of one of the victims, so he decided to attack the Judge.
I also believe she was pregnant during this trial ... I could be wrong, but I believe she was.. and in that context, I completely understand why she took the defense lawyer's mention of her children so personally.
Why do you think she was pregnant I’ve never seen that mentioned ever anywhere…. She’s ESPECIALLY calm and professional if that were the case! And this case was the worst ever for anyone who had to be involved so of course it went imperfectly, it’s one of the most heinous crimes in history. Hard for anyone to keep their composure.
@@emakelley6807 While this trial was ongoing, people were talking about it... I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it though.
like the judge mentioned here, it was a misunderstanding due to one of the victims family having a heavy accent. so where the defender thought/felt his kids were wrongfully mentioned, turns out they were not mentioned because the word she actually said was defendant. and that's why the judge said, if his kids were brought up at any point, it must've slipped past her because she didn't hear it.
I was shocked at all those defense attorneys behaving so unprofessionally in a courtroom.
This was a life or death situation for the convicted - and emotional agony for bereaved parents.
They looked and behaved sloppy, giggly and bored. An unprepared 'free for all'.
The fact that she has to stand up for herself as a judge
stand up for the parents whose children were killed and she gets punished for it? It’s absolutely insane!
I know she once said she probably shouldn’t have hugged the victims in the case but as a judge please help me understand is she not supposed to show compassion?
There are 2 sides in a case. The victim and the defendant/convicted have rights.
Gimme a break. It was improper to allow the victims families to attack and reference the defense attorneys who have kids.
She is meant to be impartial. Defense was highly highly unprofessional and insulting to the victims. But the judge was certainly doing her best to open an appeal for bias. There were points where she was justified and points where she was over the top and also unprofessional.
@@somethinginthenothingJust because the former jjudge complained about the defense doesn't mean what she said was truthful or appropriate. Defense attorneys weren't disciplined but the former judge was and was ran off the bench.
Looks like you didn’t actually watch the video. Before she even took this case, she had communicated to her Superior that she wanted to discontinue as a judge. She wasn’t run off the bench.
BTW - she seems to have a very compassionate heart. I love that she is a person who feels. 🩷 It’s difficult to get that in a person who deals with law and criminals. But she has it. Sure love Scherer. 🩷
Job well done Judge Scherer God bless you in your work going forward.
The jury got it so wrong…this crime, and that person should be next to the definition of the death penalty. I don’t know how this judge could deal with that defense team…most disrespectful defense I have ever seen.
It was wild 🤦🏾♀️
The free lawyers pretty much won this case. He didn't get the death penalty
Technically they did win this case , how were they free this kid has money 💰
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwthe kid got his mothers life insurance…like 100k…not enough to pay for a 5 year death penalty case. Those were Public defenders
She was a lefty. I watched her interview after.
Judge Scherer got the shaft in this situation!!! She was tremendous had to deal with such a horrific horrible situations that 95 percent of the BAR will never have to deal with or face in their professional lifetime! You reap what you sew and they lost a tremendous caring judge 😔
sow
She didn't get the shaft because she has come out much stronger and is in a much better position. She was not ousted from the position as she clearly said in the video as she had already planned to retire.
The shaft? That’s literally her job as a judge? #1 rule as a judge is to be impartial (which obviously no one that subscribes to this channel understands) and although this judge seems like a nice woman, she is not very impartial and seems to side with one side often.
I agree. Sure love Scherer. 🩷 She is a person who feels. 🩷
@@mthoustontx4311 I just meant by the bar threatening her ability to continue with some sort of sanctions. Oh yeah, I agree Judge Scherer will come out the winner at every level!
She wasn't suppose to hug the prosecution! She took an oath, and one of those oaths is NOT BE BIASED! Judge Judy never did that! As I said before GET OVER IT!
Thank you for handling this case so well.
This judge hugged the prosecution team. She was not professional and showed poor judgement. It's good she stepped down.
Exactly
Bless her. The demeanor, and behavior of that defense team defied logic. The murderer actually came off more mature during the trial than they did which is unreal. For a former judge to feel that the judicial system left a bad taste is simultaneously sad, and refreshingly honest. So lovely of her to promote the calls to action by the victims' families to honor their loved ones.💖 A lifetime appointment is too much for a caring rational person as she obviously is to be subjected to inside the broken system we Still have. 📜
Shes amazing! Thank you Elizabeth for all of your service for justice in our country. ❤ You have been fair and professional in such a long trying experience.
The most beautiful Judge I have ever seen ❤
I agree she’s beautiful judge. I don’t mind being in the courtroom with her.
LOL. I'm sure she's grateful for your support as she looks for another job. LOL. Go cry.
First time u’ve ever seen a Judge have temper tantrums on the bench. She could not hide her bias, very unprofessional!
That’s a lie, male judges do it all the time
Very!
this judge was doing her job the defense was so disrespectful
I remember when this happened and I thought it was so outrageous. The guy made a point about them mentioning his kids and she blew it off but the second he says what about your kids she loses her mind and says how dare you bring up MYYYYYYY children as if they are different from anyone else’s children
she didn't "blow it off". she stated that if that was the case, that it went past her and that they needed to move fwd. then for him to say what he did about HER kids, just validates her point even more about the whole defense teams unprofessionalism and child like behavior.
if you actually watched this entire interview, you wouldve been made aware of misunderstanding in this exact situation. where a victims family member who had a heavy accent stated multiple times in her speech the word defendant. and that it was misinterpreted as the word defender. and that's why the defender had the thought that his kids were brought up when in fact they weren't. and that's where the misunderstanding took place. but for him to talk to her (the judge) like that, completely inexcusable.
Love love love Judge Scherer during this trial. Not only a beauty, but also a brain. 💖
I hope she comes back to work as a judge.
I would have asked her why she didn't hold the defense lawyer who gave her the middle finger in contempt of court.
The jurors that voted against should have been publicly shamed.
Oh come on, it’s not like he got acquitted
Lady, no one threatened your kids 🙄 he was trying to make a point.
Right? Ridiculous lol
Over here in the Netherlands this judge would be removed from the case immediately. Her behavior is absolutely insane. Clearly not fit to handle a case like this.
For the people that thinks this lady was a good judge, PLEASE, go to see Darrel Brooks case and a real professional, self controlled judge: Jennifer Dorrow , then you will see a huge difference between a great judge and and show off judge that wanted to be seen emphatic and good person in front of cameras with the parents of the victims, hating the defense team.
I agree!
💯
I agree
I watched both trials, day in and day out. I liked the way both of the judges presided over their courtrooms. The defense during the Parkland Shooting trial was atrocious and unprofessional. I think she did exactly what was called for given their behavior.
💯
Thank you for this.
The defense team was painfully unprofessional, but so was the judge at times.
It’s really wild how everybody is lauding her. She was horrific at being a judge
Yeah, it's disturbing she still doesn't seem to get that she proved the defense attorney's point. He said "if someone brought up your children you wouldn't like it" and she proceeds to have a meltdown over him bringing up her children. It's a startling inability to put herself in someone else's shoes. All she had to do was make a blanket request that the victims not wish anything bad upon the defense attorney's children.
Yea she seems really unprofessional
She behaved like a prosecutor instead of a judge, she forgot her role
@@carlawarlabarla i dont feel bad for the defense attorneys, in this case. They were disrespectful beyond reprehensible levels.
Hi Jesse, thank you for this very interesting interview. I was looking forward to it and wasn't let down. If you don't mind, could you try to turn up the volume on your end? I could hear the judge perfectly. Thank you!
She handled it beautifully! Lots of respect for her! She did her job!
She handled that Defense team with class and a lot more patience than I have.
Nah she didn’t. I understand that it’s difficult to separate our emotions over the heinous acts the perpetrator committed from our assessment of the judge’s decorum. But when you do you, you realize the judge acted inappropriately
She got censured for it, so no she didn't.
This judge saw cameras and thought she was gonna be the next judge Judy. Regardless of any behavior from anyone in the courtroom, the judge is supposed to symbolize professionalism and poise. She did not. Using the excuse it was hard, and trying to gain empathy for her inappropriate behavior is just gross. She claims she had to take a recess because she feared she couldn't keep her composure is ridiculous. She lost her composure almost daily, by speaking to grown adults with disrespect, as if they were children and not attorneys, let alone human beings. She stepped down because she knew she was going to be fired. I say good riddance.
@@patricklary81she talked to them like children because they were acting like children. How hard is that for you to understand? If you want to be treated with respect than act like a human being
@@patricklary81gud riddance!
Great interview. I would love to read her book.
She is so amazing. I have so much respect and admiration for her!
What dicussed me the most was them flipping people off during the trial. These lawyers are suppost to behave better.
Not defending the defense behavior but the judge stated that they threatened her children but he didn’t say that he clearly said if someone was talking about her kids she would have heard it
Thank you i was wondering what i missed. He was gaining perspective not threatening. I honestly believe she was out of line on that matter her children were never remotely threatened.
I think she proved his point.
Yeah that was weird
his kids were NOT mentioned by anyone. he misheard. judge states that here.
either way, he is in the wrong.
everyone in that court room HAS to respect the judge. period. end of story. so for him to make the comment he did, should've put him in contempt.
when you're the kid in class that acts disrespectful and extremely childish and rude, sorry but you aren't given any leniency or the benefit of a doubt.
Nice interview. Looking forward to the book.
She’s everything we needed in a judge and more. So much respect for her.
I live in Australia and I was glued to this case, firstly I would like to acknowledge the respect that the host Jesse has given the families in this case who I remember in their victim statements and their one request to media covering this case was to not give use the name of the defendant so to not give him any “fame” if that’s the word for what he did and that’s the first thing that I praise jessse for is his respecting those wishes to the families. Secondly to the judge I’m a trans woman and I admire you and what gets me is how could anyone man or woman sit in a room listening to what happened to the victims loved ones and NOT give them a hug at the conclusion, when I saw that I knew this woman had empathy something I think every judge should have for both the victims and in some cases the defendant! There was nothing wrong with this woman having empathy for her fellow human beings and hugging them at the end! I would have been more concerned about her professionalism had she not have
Let her personal emotions get the best of her. Everyone has a job to do, she gotta stay professional regardless.
The Defense was dreadful. No respect no manners.
i admire that thus judge decided to not fight back to not have to involve the victims in more trauma. She has a lot of humanity.
She doesn't care about the victims. She can't even remember their names. Watch the final statement she made before sentencing. It was embarrassing. She had five years to come up with something and could barely string a sentence together. I've never seen a more inarticulate judge. She cares about herself. She's even branded herself as the "Parkland School Shooter Judge" and she's going to write a book about the case. If she truly had a case she would have fought it before the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission. Not to mention the Supreme Court of Florida disqualified her from another death penalty case following the Cruz fiasco she presided over.
She should not write a book on this case
If we had an eye for an eye we wouldn’t have this kind of thing happening. I know that would never happen. BUT much much stronger consequences MUST take place now or this will continue.
I respect this judge. This was an extremely draining case day after day. And under those circumstances and the defense acting like children I don’t blame her for loosing her cool a few times.
It's sad we even had to waste five years for this case to complete and hear the bullsh!t verdict. The decision to end this monster should have taken only five minutes.
“A lot of people don’t know this, but I was a prosecutor for 10 years.” There’s something wrong with this judge, this case, and this whole “happening!”
Luv this Judge !!!
On June 2, 2023, the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission found that Scherer violated many rules governing judicial conduct during Cruz's trial. Scherer "unduly chastised" public defender Melisa McNeill and her team, wrongly accused one Cruz attorney of threatening her child, and improperly embraced members of the prosecution team after the trial's conclusion. The Commission recommended a public reprimand for Scherer.
I watch this whole trial it’s was very emotional.
I will buy your book, love from Holland Europe ❤
It sounds like she threw a tantrum when she realized he had a point
Or he threw a tantrum when she had a point
She definitely stood her ground 👏👏 and shes beautiful i might add
Beautiful woman. It must of been so difficult to hear kids and how horrific it was. Strong beautiful woman. I would of lost it start crying every sec. I couldnt ever do that because hearing peoples pain would have me loose it every moment. Proud of her.
Im very impressed by this lady , this judge. Empathetic and fair , yet firm in conducting the business of the court. Dedicated to administrating justice in a equitable manner. Im glad people like her exist to provide examples for the rest of us-thank you ma'am
The middle finger from the defense was crazy if she should have her license pulled
All these people that think this judge was a good judge must not know anything about a court room and how the court can't be emotionally involved.
If I had some overly maked-up Barbie queen as a ruling judge in my case I'd probably be fishing for a mistrial too. America is straight up 🤡 world.
there's no question there was a total lack of respect from the defense, they were childish, unprofessional, riling her up almost deliberately. There were also things that just got miscommunicated and instigated more chaos. But I'm glad she admits she could have handled some things better.
I hope the Book wil be also in dutch ...respect for the Jugde greetz from Holland
Yea it was hard to watch too, definitely not the right temperament for a judge.
She was emotional. How do you judge a counsel for the exact same thing they just accused you of, then turn their analogy around to make yourself look like a victim. I was like “wtf your honor”. She wasn’t the right person it doesn’t matter what she thinks.
I absolutely loved this judge! I am completely with her, the defense was insanely disrespectful towards the families and the victims during that whole trial!
Shes seems like an overall great human being. Glad she got through this okay.
A judge should not have a emotional or physical connection with the victims or families nor should they be as prejudical against the defence as this ex judge was.
I watched it all and it was hard , but this ex judge made it 10x harder

The fact that she hugged the prosecution at the end of the trial… insane
@@Fnanaanfnot insane. The trial was over and she used to work with those people
@@boomds5602 okay fine, maybe not insane, but EXTREMELY inappropriate.
The moment you know how the judge feels about the defence and the state is the moment the judge has failed horribly at their job, to the point where they should 100% be removed from the bench. You are happy because it's some psycho with a bunch of evidence against him, but if it was your brother or sister or someone you care about you wouldn't be so giddy. She is unhinged and the way she is acting now - with the media tour, is even more evidence her being taking off the bench was a fantastic idea.
The defense was childish bullies too. No one won in this.
Yup. Scary how many people are praising this terrible judge in these comments.
She ain’t unhinged. She was trying her best to deal with a group of just children who were acting behind disrespectful in a very serious situation.
You are safe now. People are nuts out there. Better off now.
great interview!!
SHE WAS SO WRONG. Extremely biased . We can't have biased judges in the courtroom. Not if we're going to stand on the nobility of our court room process.
You support THIS defendant??
She made the mistake of getting her personal "feelings & bias"! She didnt act like a dignified Judge, but rather a high school MEAN GIRL!
These kids stood up to this psychopath. That part shouldn't be forgotten
I love the way you handled this case! I love the nonsense you displayed. I do agree that the lawyers should’ve never been targeted, they were doing their jobs.
