The judge needs to be sanctioned

[cajungirl_br]

First off, I applaud the verdict and the sentencing. I think they both were fair and justice was served. What I did not appreciate was the judge rolling her eyes when Mr. Stewart had finished reading his statement. It was so uncalled for and she actually placed herself just a bit lower than the two criminals she was sentencing. She owes Mr. Stewart and the entire court an apology. JMO

[cajungirl_br]

Personally I don't think she did anything any more outlandish than Judge Ito with all of his shenanegans during that trial. And nobody sanctioned him. If you want to sanction someone, go after him.


I agree! His entire court proceedings were a joke, hers was not. She was very professional up until that time.

I believe she behaved fine and didn't lower herself at all. :thumbup:

I missed that. I thought she was listening far more closely and respectfully to what Mr. Stewart had to say than what OJ was saying. Perhaps because Mr. Stewart was the last to speak before she began her own commentary any rolling of the eyes had more to do with preparation of her own upcoming comments than a response to anything Mr. Stewart said or did.

[JBL]

I'm surprised she wasn't finger tapping on the desk while they were talking.

Her right. Her courtroom. Sanction? C'mon. After OJ's spew trying the heartstring pull again poor me , still confused as to why he's there.

All judges have there mind made up after thinking long and hard. Nothing they say will sway the judge at this point in the game. Game over.

IMO this part is to show remorse to victims of alleged crimes and to help with probation down the road. OJ still refuses to be remorseful for anything or anyone but himself.

I agree. I wonder if he'll still be telling the parole board in 9 years that he's confused about why what he did was wrong. Sigh. Would be a shame to see OJ sit there for 30 years because he's still too "arrogant and ignorant" to get it! As for me, I'm in the process of dumping my OJ spreadsheets and web links and saying "goodbye" to having to think about him. I'm gonna miss ya, JBL!

OH say it ain't so Joe!

He's OJ - He will not be "IGNORED" ROFL! He'll be in the headlines again. He can't help it.

Speaking of dumping - Arnelle boot Prody yet?

Prody's probably kicking herself right now. Instead of "Wow I could have had a V8" she's saying "Wow I should have listened to Mike Gilbert and made that movie! Now I'm gonna be homeless, and rich guys who are both arrogant and ignorant are hard to find during a recession!"

Sanctioned???for eye rolling???Yikes wonder if lawyers could have the same charges...NOPE..So she rolls her eyes?..just who was she influencing?? Who's minds did she inluence? How did she directly change the reasoning for being in that courtroom??? A judge can stick her tongue out if she wishes..at this point..and she can redicule BS if she believes it so..That is her right and privilege...and given her tolerance of all the antics..and personalities here..she has shown more patients than Job!!.....Now if she slept during the trial or didnt hear aguements by the lawyers cause she was sleeping or under the influence.. ridiculed peeps in front of a jury, or didnt or couldnt make a ruling........then take her to task..Yikes..look what they had to do to get Halverson OFF the bench!!

LMS:laugh:

[JBL]

As evidenced on tape - this crime pretty much takes away from his "I was framed" Murder trial.

OJ caught Loud, Vile, and Mean/Violent. OJ has always stuck to they layed back persona, easy going Hey that's not me. Everyone's lying.

He stuck to that persona in court. Still claiming that what EVERYONE HEARD him spew wasn't what we heard. Just gettin his stuff. Like dropping a tissue and picking it up.

I'm glad Judge Glass made mention of the violent temperments flaring in there LED by OJ.

Those big guys in that little room doing the ultimate intimidation that could have went way south as out of control as they were. It was violent which OJ STILL absolutely refutes.

I couldn't disagree more. A little eye-rolling is entirely within judicial discretion.

Remember the Bo Jackson "Bo Knows" ads?? Well, OJ thinks he knows violent. Remember Beardsley talking about OJ being drunk and hitting Mike Gilbert with his Hall of Fame Ring on? OJ apparently didn't think that was violent. OJ didn't think the beatings he gave Nicole were violent. Threatening guys in a hotel room with guns? He apparently doesn't think that's violent. Now slashing two people to death with a knife? I'm not sure if OJ even thinks that's violent as long as he thinks they deserved it!

IMO, it would be an impossibility for her to place herself lower than OJ. I think she handled the entire trial very professionally and fair.

To be sanctioned a Judge must have committed some behavior that violates the judicial rules & regulations of the state. What rule of the State of Nevada did she violate in your opinion?

I happens all of the time in court. If all judges who did that were to be sanctioned, it would be hard to get judges.

The judge is not even close to the level of the people she was sentencing. No apology is required, IMHO.

[cajungirl_br]

Well, in my opinion, if the sentencing phase is considered a "proceeding" then she violated the State of Nevada Commission on Judicial Dicipline, Commentary Cannon #3B(5) which states:

"facial expression and body language, in addition to oral communication can give to parties or lawyers in the proceedings, jurors, the media and others the appearance of judicial bias. A judge must be alert to avoid behavior that may be perceived as prejudicial."

But, in my opinion, that could only be required of a judge during the actual trial so there is no undo influence coming from the bench. Afterward, they can behave in a less dignified manner and roll their eyes all they want when a man stands before them asking for mercy like Mr. Stewart did.

So, no sanctions, right? Look, the criminals were the ones who committed the crimes, not the judge. She didn't carry a weapon into that room to get her "stuff" back by force and fear.

She is a good judge and handled the matter as it should have been handled. Any action against her isn't going anywhere. It's a waste of breath and bandwidth.

Maybe we won't hear about OJ for a while now.

I think that was just the judge's facial expressions without malignent intent attached to it and that you read her wrong.

[Adalena935]

It's not all that uncommon for some people to raise their eyes to the ceiling like that when they're listening intently. That's what she was doing.

Few people go thru life observing their every facial expression in a mirror.

The judge was listening to what was being said, nothing more.

[cajungirl_br]

There is a very good chance that I did read her wrong:smile:.

[gnm109]

Maybe she was writhing in disbelief since she knew that he turned down a deal for three years. I don't think we can be too critical of her. She was faced with a defendant who has been living in a dream world most of his life, a world where there are no laws and where all must bow to his person. It's hard work to bring somone like that down to earth and let them know the reality of their situation.

I really feel sorry for the judge to have to give him what he deserved. It must have been hard for her to be the one to end the saga of OJ. Well, somone had to do it eventually.

Here's to her! :beer:

[rulovlaw]

She is a disgrace to the bench.
Her facial expressions, and verbal outbursts throughout clearly displayed her total disdain and bias.
Her speech before sentencing was completely out of line. And the sentence itself though not the worst rhat could have been given, certainly enough to equate to a life sentence and she knows it.

And then for her after her passionate speech of potential for violence, and the violent nature of the crime to do a complete 180 and give the "GUNMEN" probation ???????. Isnt that a bit of an Oxymoron considering her fevered speach to OJ. She tells him how dangerous it all was and how someone may have died, and thusly dished him a minimum of 9 years.. And yet the Man brandishing the weapon and making threats of violence.. Who also has a record, and uses a fake name aqquired illegally gets to go home... ????
If EVER there was grounds for appeal she served it up on a silver platter.

And after she declares that none of this is about revenge, or the CA case, but allowing the Goldmans in the courtroom.. And even mentioning them by name.. Rediculous..
The next morning our radio stations have announcements ..
""From the city that put OJ Simpson in Prison"""

Yeah right ... nothing personal about any of this .. Dont make me laugh...

Im hoping OJ's lawyers do a little research on previous sentences as they relate to crimes in Nevada.. It will be very easy to prove that not only was he over charged.. but the punishment far exceeded the "crime".
And the Goldman's ... They say it was never about the money ..
Well.. we will see, now they have in their own words o Tape
"Pushed OJ over the edge"
Maybe they will allow his children to have some of their family memento's.. They even admitted to "twisting his words" in that Book *If I did it*.. And they hoped that also pushed him into breaking the law..
That was a brazen admission and definately made me pause and think .. Hmmmm.. They really are no better then what they say they stand against.

I think all of this only serves to make Las Vegas look like a vigilante state, And that we will make deals with the devil if its a means to an end..Especially if that end brings lots of publicity.

I think OJ should have been punished, but this whole thing is rediculous.

When child molesters, and Rapists will serve less time then OJ, we all need to rethink our justice system.
Especially when people like you and I CARE more that OJ serves more time then those more dangerous tou our children.

Im more concerened with my child and family's safety then if OJ ever golfs again.

[nsm]

I liked her. sometimes I wonder if having cameras in the courtroom makes the judges acts a little different than they would if there were no cameras. Does anyone know if a defendant has a right to refuse having a camera in the courtroom for their trial?

I must say this is the first trial where everyone thanked/praised pros/def def/pros defendants to pros everyone to the judge (ROFL) each other. I was waiting on the group hug.

It's basically up to the judge if they want camera's. Some states don't allow it. Some attorneys have fought against it but where overruled. I believe one case was the State of Florida v. Zamora.

Well said, Nick Hogan left a kid in a vegetative state and he only got 4 months. This kid is almost dead , his parents have to feed, diaper and watch their once active son who volunteered for the armed forces lay there and can't even talk. Nick was speeding and was negligent. He wants a reality show to make lots of money. He has never mention or visted his so called best friend.

It is important to note that those who are bashing Judge Glass don't have any idea what sanction means.

ROTLFMAO

:lol:

OK what is the legal meaning of sanction?

[gnm109]

OK what is the legal meaning of sanction?

Sanction, n. That part of a law which is designed to secure enforcement by imposing a penalty for its violaton or offering a reward for its observance. For example Fed. R. Civil P. 37 provides for sanctions for failure to comply with discovery orders. Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Ed. 1979, P. 1203.


Having watched most of the TV coverage that was offered for the latest OJ trial, I can't see any violation of any law or rule for which the judge might be sanctioned. I think that those who attack the judge for doing her duty are likely only voicing their disapproval of the jury's verdict.

Once the verdict was given, the judge considered the probation report and any other materials offered to her regarding OJ. Subsequently she rendered her sentence based on the conviction in Las Vegas.

I seriously doubt that the judge will be sanctioned in any manner.

That pertains to the jury part of the trial & that is why all Judges give a juror instruction on that. During sentencing there is no jury present that might be swayed.
