You are correct. Judges often interpret the law to their wishes. Can you imagine a Judge screaming to a full court, “I don’t listen to the Sheriff’s Department!” It was an amazing day in court.

You are probably current as a lawyer, but just in case you missed this check the Indiana Court of Appeals. As a non-attorney, I cannot attest to the quality of the opinion. But, it applies to your post. In a nutshell, your client was denied due process.

Thank you for you honesty about the courts and lawyers. Is it any wonder lawyers are held is such low esteem? In the past two years, I have lost nearly all respect for courts, judges, and attorneys with a handful of exceptions. Our courts are cluttered with nonsense.

Good luck.

I find it very interesting and well worth reading not because I share much of your point of view (I do), but because you bring up and treat points of law as well explicate a meta-analysis of what is going on, include personal experiences, and share behind the scene information not often available to non-practitioners. Thanks.
