F. Dennis Saylor

Smart, hardworking, efficient, careful, cares about attorneys and knows the burdens on them -- all of the positive qualities you would want in a trial judge. Doesn't allow attorney questioning in voir dire, and conducts his own voir dire extremely fast, which, in one case, resulted, awkwardly, in the empanelment of a juror who spoke no English (he dismissed her after she had been sworn and the trial proceeded without her). Had he not been going so fast, and/or had he allowed attorneys even a little voir dire, this wouldn't have happened. His only flaw may be temperamental -- behind his courteous and scholarly demeanor he hides a short fuse, and is capable of fits of temper and shouting at counsel in front of the jury.

A true bumbling fool with little understanding of the law. A disgrace to the bench and the judicial system as a whole. A recent 2A decision demonstrates he would be better suited to traffic court, at best... His ignorance WILL be corrected by a more competent court in the future, that is guaranteed.
