The way the prosecutor keeps interrupting the defense attorney I feel like he is being gagged and the judge is enabling her behavior. If you're not impartial as a judge you have to go, his true colours are showing he is intentionally bias.

The rabbit hole I just went in after watching this, the judge and prosecution are definitely working as a team against the defense instead of the judge acting as an impartial adjudicator he is leading and helping the prosecution.

@kellyj79 I never said they are equally objecting. I agree the prosecution is certainly objecting more than the defense but when you have multiple defendants with multiple attorneys then even the number of objections being made are exacerbated even from the defense.

[@InternetBanging]

I can't say for sure the judge has a bias, but if you listen to the objections it's during specifically worded questions to ensure that the person on the stand or the jury isn't given a verbal "slight of hand" in how the question is asked with the intent to guide the answer. Many of Steele's questions are worded in a way to encourage the jury to doubt Stevens, scare him with the terms of the plea agreement and to take away his credibility to the jury by implementing he could be taking a plea to get out of a 25/yr bid. Ms. Love is objecting because if Steven's answers that specific question it helps guide the jury into Steele's point of view. They playing chess with each other using other peoples lives.
