So... you know, I think we can determine what's informing his rulings, here.
Are you saying that actually happened, or that you're just guessing?
I was working from memory. In this case I got the basics right, but was wrong on one detail: the man was Latino, not black. Nevertheless, the white guy gets numerous exceptions and light treatment in a case where he was convicted of more crimes, yet the Latino guy gets years in prison, despite only being convicted of one crime, which he plead out on. The disparity is there.
In fact, this guy has a habit of presiding over sexual assault cases and allowing deeply troubling shit to go down: like the time he felt that provocative pictures of a 17-year old girl were deeply necessary evidence in her gang-rape case. Because who would want to rule favorably for a slut, right?
