This is the same guy that was making demands for the new courthouse and for some reason Peyton was taking notes.

Actually, he was right about the need for a new courthouse but wrong on (allegedly) punching his wife in the face.  Of course, he is entitled to a presumption of innocence like everyone else, but this looks bad.

I think he might have been insisting on the spreadout style courthouse, not a highrise courthouse.

I'm standing behind this judge. He's a good guy and innoce t until proven guilty.
