disgusting human being
I'd like to hear from other people who had interactions with this woman. Is she always the monster we saw in the news clip? The one berating the sickly defendant, I mean. It almost seems like she's a substance abuser or something. I've never seen a normal person behave that way in public.
How many other people has she verbally assaulted that DIDN'T get media attention because they didn't happen to pass away shortly thereafter? We need to start naming & shaming judges, D.A.s, lawyers, police officers & other members of the justice system who behave in this manner so they can be removed from positions of power. There's no excuse for treating human beings like dogs.
