Judge Who Told Felons To Vote For Trump Now Says It Was Meant As A Joke

in #judicial7 years ago (edited)

Las Vegas Judge Susan Johnson now states that she wanted to " invoke some humor " in the court by asking several felons to vote for Trump in the next election.

Susan Johnson was quoted saying she didn't think anyone in the court or appearing before her wouldn't take it as anything more than a joke. With so much going on in the world, and all the hate that is being interpreted by a grand majority of Americans, you would think to know better.

Now, whether you're for the left or the right, it should make no difference in this story. This is a woman who sits in an very important seat and holds a lot of power doing so. I personally believe that it wasn't meant as humor and strongly believe she was fully aware of what she was doing.

Like I stated earlier, Judge Susan Johnson thought no one would find this alarming or offensive but many defense attorneys came forth with major concerns. As an defense attorney I fully understand how this could be troublesome. Jeff Scheid from the Nevada Independent wrote the following in his article...

Joel Mann, a criminal defense attorney who represented one of defendants told by Johnson that he could vote for Trump if he completed probation, said in an email Wednesday that he did not interpret the judge’s comments to be a joke during the proceedings.

“I did not take her comments at the time as a joke,” he said in an email. “I was shocked about what I was hearing and couldn’t believe she said that.”

Who cares, she's hot!

Judges are supposed to be impartial. She has no business making political recommendations while on the bench, let alone "joking".

Ok . Now you also follow me.

even judges are difficult to close their mind and heart from the current situation. we are all guilty of this fire. let's forgive Susan Johnson for being weak for the moment.

Yeah she obviously was joking. How could she think we would take her seriously... When she is in her judge gown... Handing down a ruling... She must be joking all the time.

Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :]

Haha very funny mother xxxxxx!!
😂😂

This was such a good read

It seems like she was saying to the felons that even when they could vote, they were still screwed. That's my take on it.

even the law has started being partial...amen

I think President Trump is one of the most interesting President so far. Not t he smartest and not one I'd vote for but the recent developments are quite sad and entertaining at the same time.

But I ask you Americans to also consider how the rest of the world views this.
1 thing is sure though, he should stop to defend himself all the time and cut down his personal tweets.

Thats what you get for joking with the wrong reasons,,

it could have been meant as a joke, even if it wasn't, it won't have been frowned at in my country. Anybody can campaign for anybody they want, wherever they want; it's a norm in my part of the world

Congratulations @joseph!
