When we had him in small claims court, he showed very poor judgment. He believed a guy who raised his hand and swore to tell the truth and then lied. How do we know he was not high at that time? Anyone else would lose their job for drug abuse or drinking. Looks like there are two sets of laws, one for judges and policemen and high-ups and one for us regular people. Too much crime is gotten away with nowadays, yet we wonder why our young people are so confused. God is abandoned and forgotten. People do their own thing, even judges are allowed to get off with a slap on the hand for alcoholism and drug abuse. Why shouldn't others think they should get off, too? Who can we trust nowadays?
