Bartman so what you are saying is its the best system we have. and arn't judges supposed to be unbiased ? not politicaly inclined, or gender inclined and so on. Complete and total power ranslate into complete and total coruption

Answer 1

well rapist are the highest % of repeating offenders....
the % is extremely high, which the probability they will commit this act again is def. answer.

I think a judge should maybe go through psy. tests every two year, to make sure they are normal. Since they are interepting the law.


However if judges are hold accountable, we as the public should then because we voted them into their spot.

Unless they lie to the public to get their spot.
The best way out of this is to set harder rules for rapist and murders, that they must follow.

Answer 2

I was sitting in court one day and while the defendent was presenting his case, the judge sat there reading a newspaper, and glancing at the clock. The case was an officer being held accountable for a wrong conviction and all the facts were there to prove it, but the judge totally ignored everything, then dismissed the case without hardly looking up. To this day, it infuriates me, but what can you do? Fight it on and on or, as many, give up. Their word IS law. And though we know there are bad judgments, there still is little or no way to hold a judge or anyone else, except the convict, accountable for a crime and their repeat offenses. Harder sentences for proven beyond a doubt is the main way to lessen these from happening. I would have no problem with a ruling to castrate any sexual predator either! Especially child molesters. I bet the crime rate would reduce drastically!

Answer 3

1. Judges have what is called 'qualified immunity', meaning that as long as they are doing their job, the cannot be held liable for certain things. 'Bad Rulings' are an opinion. The judge did what he or she believed was in the best interest of all involved at the time. There may be exceptions, but that is the norm.
2. NO ONE can ever predict what a 'released' criminal will do. 75% will never commit any crimes, the other 25% make it tough on everyone.

Answer 4

Yeah, I think they should be accountable if the jury convicts the criminal and the judge gives a light sentence or none.

Answer 5

Malfeasance and misfeasance can be charged against judges who makes erroneous and bad decisions.

Answer 6

That will never happen.

Answer 7

absolute immunity = absolute corruption.
