"If these walls could talk" takes on a whole new meaning in Judge Kelly's Courtroom and moreso in Chambers.

"If these walls could talk" takes on a whole new meaning in Judge Kelly's Courtroom and moreso in Chambers. Its tough to ignore when "the writing is quite literally on the wall". In Judge Kelly's courtroom, it says, "Abbey Road", "Jefferson Starship" and a particularly nice "Commodores" album cover. What this says about a person is that, as one reviewer below so eloquently stated, Judge Kelly is Courageous. Classic Album covers are not the only artwork adorning his courtroom, however as they are interspersed with an equal amount of professional Sports posters, some of which are extremely rare such as the Mike Schmidt poster in his chambers... its almost priceless. The look Michael Jordan gives Kobe Bryant in another prominently featured poster I would say IS priceless. The underlying take away from this, in my opinion is Judge Kelly's Spirit Of Diversity. Not just diversity in the aspect of various types of music being presented or that almost every major league team has some place on his wall, but it also represents impartiality. When you take into consideration the diversity of music genres, the impartiality evidenced by the multitude of teams and the inclusion of all... displaying his Museum Quality collection prominently on the walls of his Courtroom... it should be instantly understood that this was done, by design. Forgetting for a moment then I have never heard an attorney complaining about in hearing in this courtroom, one should really take comfort in his approachability, reasonableness, scholarship, and willingness to employ an open mind and an open heart as I've seen him do many times with people who may be there because they haven't been able to make ends meet recently. Judge Kelly is never one to impugn a litigant for lack of finances, intellect, or understanding. I would go so far as to call him sympathetic and would put him up there with the very best personalities a Judge could have. In one instance, the prosecutor was adamant
