He remained unbiased throughout the trial and let the jury reach their verdict bassed on all the evidence available then in sentencing he held each man to the letter of the law for each vedict they were found guilty of. What he didn't do was cripple the prosecution, he didn't suppress evidence, he didn't work for the defense. He was there to represent the law and I think he did a stellar job.

Judge is enjoying his time in the spotlight a little too much with his overly dramatic speech. He completely ignores the FACT that Arbery was clearly attempting the wrestle the shotgun out of McMichael's hands BEFORE he was shot. It shows a clear bias IMO.

Constantly caseing potential crime targets and assault, allegedly using counterfeit money and resisting arrest and being drunk passed out at a Wendy's and then assaulting the 2 arresting officers and firing a taser at them are all crimes and they were all repeat offenders, not contributors to society. Can we at least just tell the truth and stop the racially motivated lies!
