Judge Removed
A federal appeals court has once again removed a judge from a case. They did so for failing to state why he gave a pair of brothers a lower than recommended sentence.
This is the third time this has happened to this judge in the last couple of years. He has failed to explain why he deviated from US sentencing guidelines.
(Uh oh! Someone is thinking independently!!!)
The appeals court has referred to this as “disturbing evidence of willfulness”. The appeals court ordered the judge to reconsider his sentence, and again he did not explain himself. The appeals court reassigned the case to another judge.
The defense counsel tried to help the judge by writing up a reason for him, but the appellate court knew it wasn’t the judges reasoning.
