Not sure why any lawyer would think he was out of line. I assume many here have never been in a court room.

Rolling through the sentence, almost like nobody would notice for one. Most judges will start with an explanation of their departure or at least finish with it. Refusing the motion to withdraw the plea, which is common in most jurisdictions. Impuning the defense attorney's "practice". I will bet you the judge does not want to have a pre-plea conference on every misdemeanor plea before him, no matter how much he works. He just added a whole bunch of work for everyone for nothing. Just accept the motion to withdraw and roll on.

ETA maybe the DA's office and defense bar should get together and schedule a conference to get his take on every misdemeanor plea coming before him.

Does anyone else think it is interesting that SCOTUS just ruled on Hunter v. United States ? Not germane to this case but the idea that an appeal waiver controls even if a sentence is “unconstitutional" made it pop to mind when watching this. The court overturned 8-1 (3-3-2)-1 really, with Thomas being the oddball with his contrarian self.

Damn, she is guilty but it sounds like her lawyer was too busy posting on TD to keep her from avoiding jail time.

I doubt the DA's office has the guts to do that, but it's the only way to rein that behavior in.

If he did, then he committed judicial misconduct

One of the primary reasons judges shouldn't sentence differently than joint recommendations is that the judge doesn't know as much about the case as the attorneys involved.

How often are judges held to account for judicial misconduct? Fani Willis got removed from a case or two, and yet:
quote:

She won reelection as Fulton County District Attorney in November 2024, defeating Republican challenger Courtney Kramer decisively. She remains in office, frequently touting her office's 92% conviction rate in other cases and positioning herself as a champion of community safety.

Her most recent battle is a new front: in May 2026, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp quietly signed legislation requiring nonpartisan elections for local officials in the five most populous Atlanta-area counties — a law widely seen as designed to weaken Democrats like Willis in future races. Willis has vowed to sue, calling the bill "a blatant attempt by Republicans to give their candidates an edge in Democratic counties by hiding their party affiliation from voters."

Willis, it seems, has no intention of leaving quietly. But the record she leaves behind — a historic indictment with no convictions, a romantic scandal that torpedoed her own case, whistleblower allegations of misspent federal grants, congressional contempt threats, and a Senate inquisition she spent years trying to avoid — is one that accountability-minded citizens and investigators are unlikely to let fade from view.

Clients are just...something, man. They tell you their story and argument. You say yes, that's fair, but ALSO the rest of the evidence says X, Y, and Z. Then they act like they didn't hear you just say everything you did, usually getting indignant or offended that you would explain how things are likely to work instead of just agreeing with them.

Then when exactly what you said would happen does happen, they act Pikachu face shocked that they're just now hearing everything for the first time happen exactly like you said it could.

Everyone saying jail time is overkill—what would happen to a man stalking a woman like this?

probably nothing

Last two cases of stalking that I am familiar with the men saw no jail time. There were restraining orders put against them but that’s it.

to include jail time is just a complete "frick you" to both the prosecutor and defense attorney.

Judge had it out for someone other than the defendant.

Insane that she had to (obviously) read her “statement” off of notes that she had to glance down at every 3 words. The only thing sincere was that SHREAKING!

I bet after 7 days in jail she doesn’t go stalking anyone again. Isn’t that the point?

Stalking carries up to 6 months in jail. Flip the gender and you can bet it is maxes out. Boo hoo for her. You can tell she has cried and prettied her way out of shite her entire life.

She’s got a Personality Disorder.

Judge was correct to hold her accountable and give her real consequences. Counseling is probably not gonna help, especially with the vast majority of counselors being quacks. Consequences are the only language that she might understand.
