To my way of thinking, there should be one question in deciding who should qualify to be a judge. "Do you promise to sentence those who have been found guilty to the harshest penalties allowable by law?" If they answer anything but "Yes", they should be disqualified from being considered.I heard he was the judge over the case of the guy that shot 5 people at the funeral home on W 30th St last year. That guy got some sweet treatment as well.
