Same judge ~~prosecuting~~ a student facing up to 15 years for making a joke about terrorism source.
This guy (probably) gets a leaner sentence because “omg my classmate” then comes some student who said “Netenyahu drop some bonbons on my uni” and she’s facing 15.
I know I’m exaggerating but I still think the situation is absurd.
Judges don't prosecute people. Prosecutors do. She literally has nothing to do with the charges being brought against defendants in her court. It's up to the prosecutors to file charges and persue cases like this.
Wrong choice of words on my behalf. Thank you.
The words you were looking for might have been presided over the case of
And? Did they get married in the end?
I hope not. Based on her position and him constantly being on the other side of it, he would be bringing her down.
But she can fix him
I disagree, she is actively particiating in the state that oppresses black men like him. He's the one that can do better.
I'm not saying that there are no mechanisms at play that handicap people of color, especially in lower-income circles, but that seems like highly faulty logic.
A person does not commit robberies and burglary just like that.

Correct, there needs to so much external pressure that these options seem reasonable, otherwise why do such risky actions? The state actively incentives these through oppression instead of supporting black communities and individuals.
Faith in humanity ~~destroyed~~ ~~restored~~ destroyed
2026: judge sentences childhood friend to death by firing squad.
After botched execution, another judge orders them to live together in a small apartment for 1 year and be filmed for a reality TV show to win a million bucks.
Isn't this a huge conflict of interest?
She recused herself from the second case, due to the conflict of interest from getting closer to the accused after the first case.
That's a neat thought, but the connection between them is probably trivial enough to not be objectionable.
What her interest here?
If the judge has a history with, even hugging, the accused; I'd be concerned that they might be more lenient with their sentencing than they would a stranger. Especially if they're back for the third time
Yes but I don't see her gaining anything from being lenient. I don't think being vaguely familiar with someone and wishing them well is enough to establish a conflict of interest.
Similar to mtg.
They are just trying to distance themselves from the sinking ship to save their careers.
They aren't good people by any measure.
They haven't grown or learned anything or become more empathetic to the people or any of that.
Still just as corrupt. Just smart enough to pivot to try to save their careers.
