Certo
“I considered my time in Court 21 a great and humbling privilege, especially the opportunity to help people in emergencies.
I deeply admire the legal and lay advocates who give so much to families in crisis. We accomplished a great deal in
Court 21, and I feel confident entrusting our important work to Judge Crawford,” said Judge Certo. “Moving to
Community and Environmental Court gives me a new opportunity to improve the quality of life in our city, particularly in neighborhoods
that are redeveloping and reviving our urban core. I live in the Community Court catchment area, and I’m excited
to revisit my first professional experiences in environmental law.”
A public robing ceremony will be held for Judge Crawford on Monday, August 27 at 3 p.m. in the Public Assembly Room of the
City County Building.•

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.
Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
Wow, just wow.
Forcing a defendant to wear a stun belt, in court or otherwise, is a violation of american principles! It is also unconstitutional!
So, if I save $100.00 cash per week, from my $500.00 per week paycheck, for 50 years, at which time, I will have saved $260,000.00, the government can raid my home and take my money, just by saying it is drug money! Shouldn't the government, have some kind of evidence of drugs, rather, than just saying we are the government and we will take anything you own, anytime we choose? Tyranny is upon us! If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
