[@mrgallagher7072]

@@KB-nt7eg it's obvious the judge is unable to make rational decisions. So he should be removed ASAP. possibly disbarred, no longer able to practice law. But that's not going to happen so at the least he should be removed from making decisions concerning dangerous criminals. Maybe traffic court. So I guess that would be a beginning of accountability. However hunting them down isn't a bad idea either.

Idk what is up with our current justice system. On one hand you have judges who act too harsh and sentence a convicted to do hard time for a minor offense. But on the other you have judges like these who are too soft and even when the evidence is staggering,they allow the convicted to go off with ease! 🙄

[@murphyville]

[@standupbcounted2420]

The BAR Association needs to be notified with a formal complaint filed. She needs to sue the judicial system with the judge named in the suit for his reckless decision.

This judge again. This one judge has cost so many people their lives. Someone please tell these judges and DAs and mayors sometimes if they want to advocate for criminals it’s called a defense attorney yes that position has existed for centuries it’s called a defense attorney . Your job as a judge prosecutor or mayor is to represent the city not the criminal

[@MNDashcam]

The prosecutors need to be held accountable as well. Not just the judges. This man murdered someone in the 1st degree and it was plead down to aggravated robbery. What in the sam hill is going on here. He should have been held without bond and not given a plea deal at all. They are giving plea deals because they are wasting court time with frivolous court crap instead of holding trials for this.

[@ThatsSheShe]

So true they need to have cameras in courtrooms. Because they do be wasting time talking about things that have nothing to do with the law or the case wasting tax dollars. Also they be breaking laws themselves but with their immunity they get away with there wrong doing. While they all cover each others back. Remember they are all paid by the same pot issued by the state. That's why there is so many wrongful convictions.

[@selanryn5849]

The Texas constitution mandates that bond SHALL be granted, not may be granted. Judges are not given much room for discretion, similar to how SCOTUS recently ruled on concealed carry permits. I don't know if news outlets are genuinely ignorant about this, or if they are deliberately misleading the public for political purposes, but the reporting on this subject is utterly shameful. This is a legislative issue, not judicial.

[@CZLounge]

Why did he get a bond after pleading guilty…I don’t understand that

[@In_ThIs_SAD_Dark_Reality]

Yeah but really if he was originally in there for murder aggravated robbery and whatever else he was there for, really I think they should be paying attention to whoever allowed them to plead that down. Cuz you can't plead serious charges like that down without the prosecutor's blessing. So yeah the judge messed up but he wasn't the only one that messed up cuz this dude wouldn't have even got to go up for Bond would he have not been pleaded down on those serious charges first. So really you need to look at whoever pleaded them damn charges down. How do you go from murder in aggravated robbery to aggravated assault? That's a serious freaking jump

[@rafeone9808]
