Someone above mentioned Weill going to the supreme court against Judge Green a couple of years back and tried to make it sound like a "bad thing" by Weill - from what I read nothing could be further from the truth. Judge Green tried to strip Weill of all criminal cases. Weill said "you can't do that because my duties as a judge include hearing criminal matters and, the people who elected me have the right to expect that I will hear criminal matters." Given what I've seen about Weill, he probably approached Judge Green privately and ask her to reconsider. When she didn't, He asked the Supreme Court to "weigh in". I don't know what went on behind closed doors, but ultimately, Weill kept his criminal cases. That would not have been the case if he had not gone to the Supreme Court. <br /><br />Fast forward a couple of years - now Judge Green's appointee public defender Michelle Harris is going to the supreme court and asking them to remove Weill from criminal cases. Does it not strike anyone else as odd that Judge Green has been completely absent from this controversy, particularly when Judge Green's hand-picked appointee Public Defender Harris staged a completely inappropriate protest INSIDE Weill's court room, including her shouting repeatedly "I will not stand down". <br /><br />From what I've seen of Weill's record, he truly punishes violent offenders and shows compassion for those nonviolent offenders whose lives may still be salvageable - I don't know what more you could want from a judge than that. <br /><br />I hope Weill will stay the course - someone at that courthouse needs to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-24715612537547075222015-04-20T17:22:23.830-05:002015-04-20T17:22:23.830-05:00@ 2:25 Can you read?

He has never ruled against me exactly, and has always treated me fairly well from a litigant standpoint, but every time I have have been in his courtroom, he has been a jackass to other attorneys, the staff, and the defendants. He DOES seem to be paranoid, when I have met with him in chambers. Who knows what his problems are, but it is apparent that he has some if you are around him at all.

I don't know if he is paranoid or not, but he is certainly thin-skinned and overly defensive - far more than the typical judge.

Great Leadership." In truth, Judge Weill has neither. These repeated public disputes have stained the seat he occupies. His first dispute was with Judge Green that went all the way to the MSSCT for resolution. Next, a dispute with the DA's office that, again, has gone to the MSSCT. Now a lawsuit by a well-respected member of his staff who competently worked with Judge Yerger for years. Good judges are, in many ways, like good umpires. You don't notice them; they fairly call balls/strikes and when they are wrong they acknowledge their mistake and do their best to get it right. Name a GOOD judge who in 5 years has been at the center of 2 public disputes and named as a defendant in a lawsuit for conduct In chambers.

Weill has more experience as a prosecutor than the vast majority of sitting judges. He had also tried dozens and dozens of lawsuits as an attorney. By the way, mediators are chosen by BOTH SIDES of a dispute to mediate BECAUSE OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE, FAIRNESS, OBJECTIVITY, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE and ABILITY TO GET BOTH SIDES TO REACH AN AGREEMENT - that describes Weill perfectly as is evident by the many many times attorneys on both sides of a dispute have asked him to mediate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-49227268888460623742015-04-18T09:57:41.693-05:002015-04-18T09:57:41.693-05:00I once had Berrrrt Case served with a bogus Compla...I once had Berrrrt Case served with a bogus Complaint and summons by an off-duty deputy over 35 years ago while he was eating his lunch, allegeding that he had caused attorney, James McIntyre to suffer a severe attack of gastritis on top of severe emotional distress for referring to James as "John" in a news report regarding a high profile criminal trial that Bert was covering.
