    I believe judge Dickson is a fair man and sees both sides of the story .
    When people spend time for 4 months for something someone accused, and then eont put their face in court, judge Dickson can see through it. Thank you your honor for your insight .

    Congratulations! Y’all should be glad we have someone with new eyes that will see all the injustice and have open heart to see the truth. It’s a hard job. Open your minds and let the Truth set y’all free. Good luck. Thank you for caring. MG

    William 2, I was thinking the same thing, but was more along the line of having Jack Bauer as a judge.

    If he knows the difference between murder, rape, and alcohol abuse with appropriate punishment (and which cops have a brain)….it is better than where we have been. Loved the male Judge Goodman. Sad, he retired!
