  2. The city and county need more jail beds to actually punish dumb fucks. That is funny, take a walk through the court at the top of any morning hour and peek in the courtrooms. The kc municipal court isn't packed with people. I have clients who get pulled over with handfuls of warrants and pd will advise and let them go. They could also get arrested in LS or BS and have KC warrants and KC won't come and get them so they just get released. This whole county is a joke.

  3. Aren't these the judges that make 150K for 25 hour work weeks?

  4. 7:44, you got that right. Lots of money, little work, Friday afternoons off. It's not that KC needs more municipal judges, it's that city politicians need more sinecures to give to their supporters and friends.

    First, she requested I meet her at Inns of Court and "solicitor."
    Second, she called for oral arguments.
    Third, she demanded my briefs.
