Personally, I like judges having the ability to say "Don't be an idiot, you
have no case". If they can say that soon enough, then they can save
defendants a huge pile of trouble from lawsuit harrassment.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Sorry. I've been offline in my so-called
real life.
Judges leave factual questions to the jury,
but they don't pretend that gravity doesn't
exist, so some facts are just facts, not
in dispute.
And sometimes a judge can decide that a jury
got the facts so wrong he has to overrule
their decision on something. This judge did
that regarding the test files, or rangeCheck,
I forget which.
So judges do not turn to pillars of salt if
they rule on a fact. It's just there are
rules about it.
Trust me that if you go before a judge and
claim that when you pushed your wife off the
balconey, it wasn't murder because sometimes
people go up instead of down, he will for
sure tell you your theory is nonsense.
And there is another factor you are not
remembering: this was partly a jury trial and
partly bench. Some issues were left to the judge
instead of the jury, per stipulation.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
