When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A Quote from Judge Olds

Addressing the problem at the different stages of the criminal proceedings is daunting, said Eileen A. Olds, a judge in juvenile and domestic relations court in Chesapeake, Va., who is black and is president of the American Judges Association.

“There are so many levels within the process,” Judge Olds said. “You start with the police and what they are charging, and you get the magistrate, and who gets bail and who doesn’t, who gets the lawyer and who doesn’t.”


I see that she left out that fact that most of these judges don't fully pay attention to the case, like she had done many time in my cases. Where she was looking over another case file while she was to be listening to the case in front her.
