People are still victimized by X Judge Bobb due to her unfair decisions and biased opinions. Dishonest lawyers still refer victims to Judge Bobb knowing the judge will rule in their favor.

If you’ve encountered a dishonest or corrupt judge you’ll know by their actions or lack of them. What we mean is when dishonest parties or lawyers appear in court and break laws the judge fails to act. Perjury, abuse, crime it can be anything which a good, decent judge would never allow.
Judges commit crimes by ignoring crimes committed in their courts (which they ignore). They rubber stamp anything put before them by one side and deny everything or question anything brought fourth by the other side. Often evidence is ignored, witnesses are not heard and constitutional rights are ignored by the judge.
No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.”. Theodore Roosevelt. Most people would have a hard time believing a judge could be unethical, immoral or dishonest. Until the day comes where you’re victimized by such a judge.
“Unless a man is honest we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity; it hardly matters how great his power of doing good service on certain lines may be… No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.”#N#Theodore Roosevelt
