[@leraj1639]

Judge needs to take accountability of what he did wrong instead of changing the subject and blame on the lawyer of having the info on private meeting. Its not the lawayrs fault that he had that info. Its the judge fault for not keeping it canceled and judge should have not have that meeting with witnesses anyway

[@denisemoody3268]

Excellent Lawyer!

If this happens to a millionaire lawyer and a trial highly publicized Do you really think theres a fair justice system especially with state appointed attorneys

[@lamalady57]

I thought the same thing! Someone with a public defender may not stand a chance. I say may not because Mr. Steele was once a public defender too.

[@caryn459]

That's why I can't believe the public, in general, is not protesting and creating a nuisance for this judge.

​@christopherwright5258 this is a brilliant move. The judge was confused about civil contempt vs criminal contempt. The appellate court will sort this out, but more lawyers need to be this zealous for the law and their client

@@christopherwright5258I’m gonna guess u don’t know what was going on so I’ll explain.

That means the judge is corrupt as hell

Not so. The judge is in error, not the lawyer. It ain't over yet.

[@robertolson7304]

I remember the Supreme Court making slavery legal because it was a foreign workforce. Thus, they had no constitutional rights. It was the foreign governments that had no agreement on foreign workers. Then, the president made slavery illegal on a foreign labor trade. Lincoln didn't actually set any labor standards. Only Congress could make slavery illegal within the states. So what really happened. Interstate trade to the north couldn't use slave labor products. The South couldn't sell goods outside the country using slavery. So the war of the wealthy class happened. With all the mass genocide on both sides to the common folk. It clearly wasn't about freedoms but wealth and nobility. Child labor took a very long time to outlaw.

It seems rlly odd tht the judge here chose to hokd Steel on contempt for hearing about thier super shady meetings but yet he did nothing to the state prosecutors for them KNOWINGLY putting up a witness whom they KNEW was going to plead the 5th in front of the jury....which by law calls for an immediate Mistrial!!🤔🤔🤔 tht def is pretty odd wen think about it SMH. This man quite literally allows the state ppl get away with & do watever it is they wana do however they wana do it as well smh man this guy is so biased tht it literally is plain as day here LOL.

The judge told Mr. Adams "I didn't ask you" when Mr. Adams made him aware that he knew the same information as Mr. Steele. Saying that to Mr. Adams made it clear Glanville's attitude towards Mr. Steele is personal.
