I have an Uncle who just retired as a judge he said the same damn thing.
My blood cousin is a current judge he talks the swing often
my aunt is a soon to be retired judge.
A neighbor of my mine was a considered a tough judge. It was said he was tough on brehs from the city via the barbershop rumors and social media. He looked out when I appeared in his court room. He played it up but took me in the back and told me to chill. He ended up tossed the situation. If I was a typical breh that didn't have the everyday access nor the capital nor the Right zip code I would feel different.
Having connected and built a genuine relationship with her husband whose a judge let to a friend having an easier time in the system.
