And the fact that there were no WMDs in Iraq.

I used to be on the other side when, to get trial experience just out of law shcool (in Corpus Christi and then Dallas), I used to work as the night-court prosecutor for local municipalities. I never considered myself disgusting. Was I in denial?

Lesson learned next time. Make the immediate $100.00 cash donation to the vest fund.

Thus, all my predecessors won virtually every case they tried before this guy. However, just before I went there out of law school, the judge?s teenage son was convicted for getting stoned and driving into (literally) a convenience store in Portland. So, the pissed-off judge did a philosophical 180 and became decidedly pro-defense just as I was coming in. When I was losing about half of my cases, the senior associates and partners were thinking ?WTF! Did we just hire the dumbest lawyer in the world? I tried three years of cases before this guy and never lost one!?

Re: Another ticket
When I had to go to dumb-dumb night court for a speeding ticket the idiots lost my paperwork. They knew I was supposed to be there, but they could find any documentation of my speeding ticket. So, I spent the entire evening there, listening to the cases while they looked for my paperwork. They couldn't find it and it was time to close shop. I asked the judge to throw out the case and she said "no". So, they made me come back another evening. nice.

You should have filed a formal complaint and had it thrown out.
