Wouldn't a prosecutor also have to prove that they were rioters or looters or arsonists? I mean, those are serious allegations, each one a criminal offense. No pretense of leaving it to a jury -in their own goddamned trials- to decide on those, eh? I guess that does help. Why defend your murderous client when you can pretend his victims are on trial, instead. If the judge allows it, he's signalling..you know..to the jury. Sort of like when he advises them on how they can consider lesser charges, instead.
The judge is supposed to be pretty well known for being defense friendly (and eccentric, as we all now know), it's probably not out of character for him to insist on avoiding the term victim....but that's not really where the issue arises. If we want to believe that the effect of his running interference for the defense was unintentional, a product of an overabundance of caution - we'd probably have to concede that at some point that overabundance crossed some wires in his head.
Judicial misconduct is a thing. Plenty of these nuts brains have been pickled by spending too many hours stuffed in a trashbag. My favorite moment was when the prosecution, taken aback by being castigated for a line of questioning, reminded the judge that they'd actually addressed the issue, spoke about it pretrial and he explicitly left it open. Judge Judy explodes, at this point "Not for you! I left it open for me!"
cheffs kiss.
Ultimately, though, Neo. I want to ask you a question. Not the judge, certainly not the worthless shitstain weeping about how bad he had it. You. Is there any particular reason that we have to pretend that there was nothing at all out of the ordinary going on with the judge in this case? Pointless charade, if you ask me, regardless of how a person sees the guilt or innocence of the defendant..but I'd love to hear your take. I can't really see any cogent argument against the notion that this kid got lucky when they drew the judge they did. Be great if every defendant got that lucky, imo..kind of a shame it was wasted on a white supremacist who went out of his way to kill two people and maim a third with a straw purchased rifle.
