Not until the body whole gets its **** together.

A 20 mo. sentence. You gotta be kidding me! Lower court judges are downright corrupt when it comes to their treatment of LEOs.

The barrel remains rotten, even if we can see one or two healthy stragglers peeking out from the hole left by this scumbag.

Where did you find mention of impartial, please?

Have you ever enjoyed an adversarial relation with a court? You could not have to still consider impartiality.

Firs off cops are not officers of the court.

I would put my court experience up against any non-attorney. "Have you ever enjoyed an adversarial relation with a court?" Many times.

With that said, I'm not sure I understand what you wrote.

He's saying that anyone who has experience in court knows that the process is entirely partial, i.e. it favors government over the citizen.

Perhaps some are, perhaps some are not, perhaps it depends upon the definition of the term.

Nolo.com:
Officer Of The Court
Any person who has an obligation to promote justice and uphold the law, including judges, clerks, court personnel, police officers, and attorneys (who must be truthful in court and obey court rules).

It is gratifying how effective is the attempt to falsify a positive assertion.

Not so fast.

Black's Law Dictionary
“JUDICIAL OFFICER” means a justice for the peace, magistrate, or judge or any other “officer of the court.”
“OFFICER OF THE COURT” means the person in the court, usually a judge or a magistrate who holds the power to administer justice. The clerk of court is an Officer Of The Court.

A police officer is either a witness of a complainant. Police fall under the executive branch of the state government. Police are under the control of the governor or under the control of a mayor or Township trustees. The sheriff is also under the executive branch. Once a court sentences a person to jail the court looses jurisdiction over the prisoner.

If you can show me some law or case law that says otherwise I'll stand corrected. But, I won't hold my breath.

I had dealings with Dautovic, professionally, post-conviction.

He maintained his righteous indignation at being convicted, and his mother and sister insisted in the press that he was only convicted because of "racism against the Serbian people!"

Seriously?

A judge can sentence a guy to 1000 yrs ... Dept. of Corrections can let him go the next day. I see nothing wrong with this.
