He is 16 yrs oldHe did not test dirty when he was arrested but has prior.can and how do i go about filing a complaint?
A:
A judge has a lot of latitude to say what he feels will impact someone he is speaking to or sentencing or ruling on a request for ROR or lowered bond etc. Judges have an ethical duty to be courteous and to treat every person who comes before the court with dignity.
