In making a judgment in my case, Judge Peasley made sloppy use of the facts, completely misquoting testimony and materially changing their meaning on multiple occasions to reach his flawed decision. It was as though he made a snap decision, then failed to check the transcripts to make sure that the testimony he quoted in his decision was accurately remembered. Perhaps the judge became less attentive by the time my 1:45pm testimony could finally be heard. Irrefutable 3rd party exhibits were submitted which completely contradicted his memory, memories which he used to reach his decision. Is it an abuse of discretion to fail to use proper diligence in ascertaining that the submitted facts of the case match the facts that form his conclusions and rule people's lives? Our property was "equitably" divided in a ratio of 9 to 1! I don't think there was malice. His decisions may have even be somewhat reasonable, had the facts not been materially altered. His finding of facts was unfathomable unless the court reporter did not accurately record testimony.
