Damn. She was amazing. Maybe you should run for judge....a tad bit of an income change, but you'd be amazing as well.:) She lost? Damn. She was amazing.

It's easy to cry foul when your ox has been gored. Without knowing the facts of the situations you're talking about, it's hard to argue with you. But I challenge you to name a single lawyer who has removed himself or herself from a client's case because of intimidation by Judge Cosper. A lawyer who is so intimidated by Caprice Cosper has no business practicing criminal law. <i>Of course</i> the offense report is often not 100% factual; of course it's written with added details (or with exculpatory details admitted; of course there is corruption within our system. None of this is Caprice Cosper's fault. Really?,

Judge Cosper has not always ruled fairly over someone that comes before her bench. In fact she's done the opposite. She rules by intimidation so much so that even attorney's in a few instances have removed themselves from their client's case and refunded their fees. And let's be brutally honest, sometimes the officer's police report isn't 100% factual. It's written with (added) details in order to improve the odds of the charges being accepted. There is definite corruption within our system. CW Maxwell, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Judge Cosper has not always ruled fairly over someone that comes before her bench.

I've tried two jury trials in Judge Cosper's courtroom, and represented dozens of clients there, and never seen her treat anyone with anything other than courtesy and respect. I'd be interested in your observations as a non-lawyer. I don't need preferential treatment from Judge Cosper -- the way she treats everyone else is just fine with me.

"Judge Cosper treats everyone with courtesy and respect"....your assessment must exclude everyone that has stood trial in her courtroom.
