This judge made his decision before the trail began. He listened to no experts, ignored the defense half of the time, and gave the government lawyers preference.
He already has a decision before hearing the case and tries to taylor the case around his decision. Very bias and not open to hearing other opinions.
Tough. Treats both sides equally difficult. Will do everything possible to see that cases are settled versus tried. Usually by putting the cases in a context that makes it difficult for both sides.
Irascible and impatient, quick to pre-judge the merits of a case, usually in favor of plaintiffs. Never hesitates to tell defense counsel to pay money to settle a case. Hearings are often unpleasant for both sides.
He often decides cases early and wrong. He is very strict, and frequently attempts to guide a case to the decision he wants by a series of rulings that are one-sided. He takes all the pleasure out of trying cases.
VERY Strict judge. You need to know what you are talking about, both on the facts, and the law when you step in his territory. Don't bring a BS case before him, he will sanction you.
