That judge is not denying that meeting. The judge needs to be removed.

[@cindymeloche1429]

Judge illegal meeting without Defense grounds for mistrial.

[@BillyHenry-fk1qg]

He caught the judge conspiring to convict his client this is Rico

[@BillyHenry-fk1qg]

Go along with the trial but convicted judge add prosecutor's office for Rico

[@evereadyc9916]

It’s gonna be a mistrial. The judge in the prosecution did illegal activities. That job will be disbarred. Don’t you get it all his people said they’ll be a witness against him and now they’re plead the fifth, but the witnesses don’t cooperate there is no case.

[@carlbedwell8635]

Crooked judge

[@cdelane3335]

That witness was under oath. What they did by meeting behind the defenses back was wrong. If that judge thought what he did was nothing wrong with it he wouldn't have got so mad.

[@ravenzyblack]

Exactly.

[@intheshell35ify]

OMG, that was a circus. You know the thing about circuses....if you stop making the animals perform you have no circus.

[@jconner3891]

Almost as bad as a maga rally.

[@driamc3838]

Judge meeting with the DA and a witness withOUT the Defense is crazy!!

[@ravenzyblack]

The crazy part is the witness was already sworn in and has testified, so there was no reason for the judge to be questioning him with the prosecution and without notifying the defense.

[@Beneficial_Zill]

"My lawyer Brian Steel" #Free Jeffrey

[@americanlitigationconsulta2520]

They threatened the witness.

[@kandicebrown4436]

Remove the judge.

[@johndrinkard3264]

Shockingly improper actions by the judge

[@bettyechols6405]

That judge don't know who he's messing with. 😂😂😂😂Google his biography

[@brooklynscollection]

This judge needs to be removed from the bench

[@Moorsho]

Mistrial at its best.secret meetings with out defense attorneys present is mistrial.

[@charlesdegois636]

BS from this broadcast, you can't have an ex-parte meeting without all those involved being present, regardless of which court reporter was present. The contempt charges are BS period. This is a mistrial.

[@longrange9131]

Who's on 1st, who's on 2nd, who's on 1st? Wtf is she trying to say? I didn't understand none of that and I'm an attorney. Horrible commentator

[@tamikalewis8140]

Free. Him 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@garywilliams7905]

The judge is not an Obama appointment. MAGA WORLD IS DELUSIONAL.

[@Jdalio5]

Another great obama appointee!
