Enables court clerks to have ex parte communication with prosecutor.

Enables court clerks to have ex parte communication with prosecutor. Gives legal advice to the city attorney to help them. Handled a case that was overturned on appeal and when Groch discovered another error by the judge from the original case he allowed the prosecutor to correct it which prevented defense from being able obtain important discovery.

The Defendant only had speaker phone during the Covid virus.

The Defendant only had speaker phone during the Covid virus. Therefore, I heard his clerk saying he had other cases besides her. In conclusion, he could not do her prelimerly hearing during the virus. Also heard his bias approach in the courtroom. Judge Groach was bias in his room, yelling, raising his voice, and doing everything he could to help the procepcution.He constantly attempted to get her to waive hearing dates. He is too bias to be a judge and the comments by his clerk are outrageous.
