I never imagined that he would misrepresent the evidence to support his agenda.

I never imagined that he would misrepresent the evidence to support his agenda. But that is what he did. He doesn't care about the facts -- just makes up his mind who he will support and then he amasses evidence (sometimes false evidence) to support his position.

I personally have sat in on multiple cases with Judge Castel as the judge on the bench and he is one of the worst pro government judges that I’ve seen out of the multiple federal and state judges I’ve dealt with wether in trial or just for a hearing. His mind is made up long before you walk into the court room and he is not hesitant to show how bias he is in particular cases especially criminal cases. If you go before this judge and are innocent you better hope to be found innocent on all charges or Judge Castel will throw the book guidelines at you full force going way above the the normal sentencing guidelines to make up as if you were found guilty on the worse of charges. And if your acquitted on certain charges, He does not care his bias mindset is that if he thinks you’re guilty he does not care what the jury’s final conclusion is he will make sure to have the last say in every case and if he doesn’t like the situation or what the outcome was 10 out of 10 times he always goes pro government. If your representing your client before this judge you better hope for the best out come of finding your client 100% innocent of all charges or he will take his anger and bias mindset out on your client and excuse my language but will screw your client over the best that he can to ruin there life even if that client truly is innocent he does not care. He’s big on taking whatever the government says your accused of and believing it without any true or justified evidence to support there claims. It’s very sad to see someone with such respected power, abuse it in the manner that he does going against many of your constitutional rights. And the worst part is there’s almost nothing you can do about it to fight his final verdict because many of these federal court judges and circuits do not want to step on each others toe’s to go against one another’s decisions even if they know what took place was very wrong and they would never let it happen in there own court room.
