found Hendrix poor judge
at criminal trial

1. THE JUDGE PUT THE VACATION PLANS OF ONE JUROR AHEAD OF THE NEEDS OF THE DEFENSE COUNSEL. THE DEFENSE HAD TO HURRY ITS' WORK AND WE WERE NOT ALLOWED THE NECESSARY TIME TO FINISH OUR PREPARATION.
2. THE PROSECUTION WAS ALLOWED TO BRING IN A SUPRISE WITNESS. I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY IF THE DEFENSE COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING.
3. THE DEFENSE ATTEMPTED TO HIRE A NOTED PSYCHOLOGIST. SOMEHOW, THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND THEY GAVE THE PSYCHOLOGIST A YEAR'S CONTRACT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO GET FUNDS FROM THE JUDGE TO HIRE THE PSYCHOLOGIST.
4. WE ATTEMPTED TO GET COPIES OF DETECTIVE SALDATE'S PERSONNEL RECORDS BECAUSE THERE WAS STRONG INDICATION THAT HE HAD A HISTORY OF VIOLATING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF SUSPECTS. THE JUDGE DENIED THIS MOTION.
5. ALL THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL IT SEEMED THAT THE JUDGE RULED IN FAVOR OF THE PROSECUTION. WHEN THE PROSECUTION WANTED SOMETHING THEY GOT IT MORE OFTEN THAN THE DEFENSE.
