I only have one question
October 09, 2004
Ken Lammers from CrimLaw relays a story about a wonderful judge. I want to know the name of the judge who began a suppression hear like this:
I heard the evidence and oral argument by counsel. And since then I have reached a decision in the case. But in order to reach a decision I want the record to show that I went with my court security officer to the area where this occurred, because the record needed to be fleshened out, and an eye-balling of the territory where the event occurred was necessary for me to make an intelligent decision.
You can read the judge's well-reasoned decisionhere.
