Where was the media during this trial? What would today's media do with a trial and judge like this?

What about the comment that judges are supposed to "have ice water in their veins." Do you think that is true of most judges? Is it even possible?

Finally, think about the "Anti-Riot Act" in relation to our Halloween traditions here in Madison...
