@@holiday-td6hx My late father was a pastor and I was brought up to always tell the truth, even if I got my butt smacked. He is gone now and I am in my 60's and live that training still.
When the guilty are sanctioned,great. That's the way a just government, ruled by law, not men,or women, perverting the system,and the people they represent... John Doe-vs-the people. The elected have attacked the people they work for, our Country is headed down a dangerous path. The laws should work, equally for all. Case over turned!!! BS... Responsible party should be eye,for an eye, life,for a life. However,when you have innocent people in prison due too prosecutor/police/and court misconduct, I buy rounds of shots for cops getting shot sitting in their car eating a hamburger. If qualified immunity was eliminated,and not just civil, but also criminal sanctions, were held on these government agents of tryanny the court of appeals wouldn't need to exist... Now,the American people were given the tools, first the pen,then the sword, with the 1st,and 2nd, Amendment to the US Const. Doing so acknowledging the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants, occasionally. The best and brightest don't work in no county superior court.
I worked for a law firm and one of the attorneys was arrested/convicted for insider trading. He got 12 years because as "the keeper of the keys" he was more guilty than the people he was passing information to.
What is sad is it took her getting caught breaking a law before she was removed. There should be a process to remove bad judges when they consistently behave in a way unfitting to the bench and not have to get to the point of a crime.
Really, and who is in charge of that? What if the rulings are more liberal or conservative than the person / people making those decisions, but still within legal boundaries? By waiting for actual crimes, you insure that political or philosophical differences aren't the main deciding factors.
@@chipinnc ,,, many complaints were about her IMPROPER BEHAVIOR, and how she treated people in her courtroom...other complaints were about her IMPROPER RELATIONSHIPS with certain other officers of the court. Judges should not hear cases involving people who are related by marriage or blood, or close friends, or business. these were not complaints on her RULINGS per se. Example.. there is a County Judge who routinely rules on cases involving her son. Amazingly, cases against him are dismissed with prejudice, cases for him are ruled in his favor. (She remarried after his birth, so names are not the same..to protect the guilty 🤣)
@@chipinnc I know, right? Or a crystal ball.....A crystal ball would solve everything. Somebody should pass a law requiring the use of crystal balls. Know what? Joe Biden has a crystal ball. He knew I'd be happy with 1400 bucks right now....simply amazing, I know!
I find it amusing that locally all judgeships on the ballot run unopposed, and mysteriously, all of a sudden they list themselves as receiving campaign funding as overnight politically "independents" . Arsses of the first caliber.
@@deconteesawyer5758 I don't know about where you live, but where I am (Oregon), it's typically done like this: Judge wants to retire. Judge retires in the middle of their term, explicitly, so that governor of same political party can appoint a replacement. Replacement comes up on the next ballot as incumbent. People automatically vote for the incumbent judge because every judge looks and sounds the same in the voter's pamphlet, if they bother to put anything there at all. Pretty sure similar tactics are used anywhere that has a single party running everything that matters. It's "just us" who decides who's going to run the courts, you see.

What a horrible individual. And to think that she got away with this behaviour for SO MANY years, AND she got a plea deal that let her avoid most of the charges. What a disgrace to the entire judicial system. They should all hang their heads in shame.
The Appellate, & Supreme court justices have allot more honor and deserve the title. If the judges on the Superior Court level were held accountable for the ex parte communications with the da, and prospectors in lieu of qualified immunity, the need for the appellate court would be cut in half. The judges in your local court are in bed with the officers regularly.

Hey Steve. Been watching you forever. I've been a paralegal or legal administrator for over 30 years. Many of your storys ring a bell as I watch. I'm also a car guy so you are the best of both worlds. BTW I've seen videos of that judge and man was she bad. No idea how she kept the bench so long. Keep it up my friend. God Speed.
New text on the Thumbnails, Love it! Easy to read topics! Top notch videos as always, and what a great topic! Glad she's going to be prevented from ruining more lives.
Judge Herman Campbell was a Judge in Shelby Township Michigan. There was a political fund raiser going on and I noticed he was in attendance. I thought to my self great, I am going to see him drink a beer or two, when I came across him I saw he was drinking coffee. I had a greater respect for him, as he got it, as a Judge he was walking the walk.
I like that the videos of yours I have seen so far have been educational and entertaining. Some of the situations stink, but they are very fascinating to learn about.
It is amazing to me what judges and attorneys get away with. I have seen many attorneys and judges convicted of crimes and continuing to retain their license and practice. I am a CPA. We can lose our license if the Board decides that something you did was discreditable to the profession. You don’t have to have broken a law, violated ethics, or performed a substandard engagement.
Judges have too much power. If this judge hadn't gone so far, she would still be abusing everyone in the court and nobody could even talk back without being held in contempt.
Perjury is taken very seriously in the UK too. Notably in recent times, Lord Archer, a member of the House of Lords, an Jonathan Aitken, MP (something akin to a senator or congressman), both served jail terms for lying under oath in (separate) libel cases. In both cases they appeared to think that they were somehow above the law. Turned out they weren't.
Thank you, that answered a big mystery about how obviously corrupt persons are kept in the system by those they favour. Who keeps the Bar Associations clean and tidy then?
Ha! Is it not an unfair advantage for the Michigan ballot to list "Honorable" in front of an incumbent's name? Ms. Brennen would be welcome here in Alabama provided she paid the fee to apply for her law license. The State Bar here in Alabama will accept any mangey stray dog. Getting elected to the bench would require a lot more...favoritism. Several years ago there was an attorney who was using his clients credit cards to pay his office bills, buy personal meals, etc. His law clerk who was a law student at the time reported him to the bar association. While the attorney was being investigated he made an effort to have his law clerk committed to a mental institution. The attorney's effort failed and his law license was suspended for 6 months. In the meantime his law clerk graduated from law school and passed the bar exam. As a condition for the reinstatement of the offending attorney, the ex-law clerk, now attorney, had to publish an apology to the attorney who had tried to have him committed in the newspaper! C'mon down!
That is nothing to the Judges in Delaware County PA. There are judges that make ruling without lawyers even allowed to present evidence, stating they are the law! When some lawyers start to read previous rulings they get repremanded in court, some even held in contemt!
Hey Steve, Love your CZcams channel Two questions Who is the woman who gives the antidotes at the end of your videos If a concert or event was canceled due to covid in 2020, and the company I went through to buy my tickets won't refund me, is there any recourse I have? Thanks
I'm glad you have a microphone. You say what happened, what the law allows, the adjudication process, what happened within the system and subsequent actions. Judges are important, justice is important but having a microphone in the hands on demagogues and their agents are the norm today. I've never heard of your channel and will I stay tuned. In the age of Trump it is pleasant to happen across a CZcams channel such as yours. Thankyou!
@@lancecluster The Steve had a challenge for anyone who could present a Supreme Court case that ruled that nobody needed a drivers license while driving.

Just a bit of fun to do when watching the vid.

So has he explained the "voice over woman at the end of the videos"? I am aware of the tribute to his two dogs that have passed away, and there is also an owl thing going on.
Such an uplifting story! It's good to see such a crook like this judge get what's coming to her FINALLY! People like this, in positions of power literally ruin the lives of countless honest, innocent, decent people. They should all be rooted out, and taken to task!
So what office will she be running for next election? State senator, Congresswoman? People like that don't just give up and go away. They'll find out some other way to cause even more mayhem and suffering.
Any judge, attorney, law enforcement, witness, etc found guilty of perjury relating to a criminal case should be sentenced to the maximum penalty that defendant was facing.
@@twilatharp3386 some prosecutors are forced to do it with cops, depending on jurisdiction and publicity. They (prosecutors) could care less if they accidentally convict innocent people. Down here, a majority of courts and city governments, not to mention the state courts, are all installed by the "Man Who Must Not Be Named" that has been a traitor to his own people. Yea, that guy. Amazing how his false disease threw a camouflage net over him, isn't it?
I think not as a matter of course unless individuals involved file appeals that are somehow accepted long after the fact. If she screwed up your case you had the option to appeal at that time.
@@twilatharp3386 well considering how our State and Federal supreme courts have mangled our common law I doubt it. Some if it becomes clear that she was biased in judging those cases.
I was really glad to hear you say that some should be held to a higher standard of conduct. All too often I see uneducated and poor and very young have the "full weight of the law brought upon them" while those who "have done so well over the years but made such a mistake, etc." receive a light consequence, despite the greater education and opportunity to do/know better.
*If Prosecutors & Cops were held to a higher standard... most of them would be in Prison! It is easy to have "High" standards when you don't have to worry about standards... Immunity!* *We will Investigate ourselves!*
Mr. Lehto, if you were in that Court and Judge Brennen had been assigned to your case could you have filed an Affidavit of Prejudice and had another judge assigned to the case. I know in Washington I did that because I had won my Criminal Appeal and my Judge was taken off my re-sentencing for being biased in my case. Being a small town and a two judge Superior Court I didn't feel i could get a fare hearing, So, against my public pretender's advise and refusal to file it for me, I filed pro-se against Judge number 2 and a visiting judge from the next County came and re-sentenced me. ( of interest it was my Pro-se Supplemental Brief that I filed that overturned my sentence and not the one filed by my Court Appointed Attorney for the Appeal.) I love your commentary and teaching. Please continue with these informative legal videos.
Hey Steve ! Your channel is so much fun to watch. Theater of the absurdities in the Legal World. I can only guess as to where you sit on the Political Spectrum, and that's for you to know and me to find out. Any chance of getting your take on Gretchen Whitmer ? Signed, Just Asking In California
Gotta ask whose autograph is on the speed limit sign? We had a city judge a few years back (new to the bench) who got busted for DWI. She started acting seriously wacky, not showing up for work, leaving the country for vacation when told she couldn't leave the state, trying to buy firearms at Walmart, etc. She ended up in jail for a time, then when released didn't show up for her court-appointed county job. Through all this she continued earning her full salary as a judge. It took FOREVER for NY to finally remove her from the bench.

Hey Steve. Been watching you forever. I've been a paralegal or legal administrator for over 30 years. Many of your storys ring a bell as I watch. I'm also a car guy so you are the best of both worlds. BTW I've seen videos of that judge and man was she bad. No idea how she kept the bench so long. Keep it up my friend. God Speed.
So what does this mean for all the defendants she already abused? I hope they go back and look at every case.
I LIKE the titles across your thumbnails. It makes it easier to sort through the one I have already seen.
The stockade in a public square would have been nice.
They could have even given it a brass plaque in her name.
This just made my day. AWESOME news! Thx for sharing, Steve.
Can those who had cases in front of her ask them to be reviewed or heard again now?
Character & Fit ought to apply to all of our public offices.
Very informative, thank you for sharing this.
New text on the Thumbnails, Love it! Easy to read topics! Top notch videos as always, and what a great topic! Glad she's going to be prevented from ruining more lives.
I know a judge that got into a jam after judging a 4H contest
Judge Herman Campbell was a Judge in Shelby Township Michigan. There was a political fund raiser going on and I noticed he was in attendance. I thought to my self great, I am going to see him drink a beer or two, when I came across him I saw he was drinking coffee. I had a greater respect for him, as he got it, as a Judge he was walking the walk.
I like that the videos of yours I have seen so far have been educational and entertaining. Some of the situations stink, but they are very fascinating to learn about.
It is amazing to me what judges and attorneys get away with. I have seen many attorneys and judges convicted of crimes and continuing to retain their license and practice. I am a CPA. We can lose our license if the Board decides that something you did was discreditable to the profession. You don’t have to have broken a law, violated ethics, or performed a substandard engagement.
If she is not in jail or prison, then she is not being held to a higher standard.
Judges have too much power. If this judge hadn't gone so far, she would still be abusing everyone in the court and nobody could even talk back without being held in contempt.
Perjury is taken very seriously in the UK too. Notably in recent times, Lord Archer, a member of the House of Lords, an Jonathan Aitken, MP (something akin to a senator or congressman), both served jail terms for lying under oath in (separate) libel cases. In both cases they appeared to think that they were somehow above the law. Turned out they weren't.
I have been following the brennan case thank you for the update steve
Steve you seem a bit on the fence here, tell us how you really feel about Brennan?
Just another example that the people of this country need to rise up and purge our country of all the waste.
Thank you, that answered a big mystery about how obviously corrupt persons are kept in the system by those they favour.
Who keeps the Bar Associations clean and tidy then?
So they took away her copy of the complete works of William Shakespeare?
...
Oh, wait ... for that she'd be dis-bard.
Ha! Is it not an unfair advantage for the Michigan ballot to list "Honorable" in front of an incumbent's name? Ms. Brennen would be welcome here in Alabama provided she paid the fee to apply for her law license. The State Bar here in Alabama will accept any mangey stray dog. Getting elected to the bench would require a lot more...favoritism. Several years ago there was an attorney who was using his clients credit cards to pay his office bills, buy personal meals, etc. His law clerk who was a law student at the time reported him to the bar association. While the attorney was being investigated he made an effort to have his law clerk committed to a mental institution. The attorney's effort failed and his law license was suspended for 6 months. In the meantime his law clerk graduated from law school and passed the bar exam. As a condition for the reinstatement of the offending attorney, the ex-law clerk, now attorney, had to publish an apology to the attorney who had tried to have him committed in the newspaper! C'mon down!
What a joke. How do they let clowns like this continue in our judicial system. Just goes to show you it’s not what you know. But who you know.
She’s qualified to ask; “Would you like fries with that”
I'm curious if that MSP detective is still seeing her or visa versa?
I think whatever it was has been over for a long time..
Once it became public, it was probably all over.
we all have a broken heart now
Said no one ever!!
Not!
No not really.....one traitor down, many more to go
Politicians should be held responsible for the laws they make.
She's one of many examples of why judges shouldn't be elected.
You've been practicing for 30 years?
Why not stop the practicing and do it for real?
Only doctors and lawyers get to practice
@@lynnhooley7608 Lawyers' mistakes go to prison, doctors' mistakes go to the cemetery.
Its called practice because its not perfect!!🤔😅
For real? That sounds too much like real work!
Tell me please how can this be done when they make law from bench ??
Just keep drinking
That is nothing to the Judges in Delaware County PA. There are judges that make ruling without lawyers even allowed to present evidence, stating they are the law! When some lawyers start to read previous rulings they get repremanded in court, some even held in contemt!
Hey Steve,
Love your CZcams channel
Two questions
Who is the woman who gives the antidotes at the end of your videos
If a concert or event was canceled due to covid in 2020, and the company I went through to buy my tickets won't refund me, is there any recourse I have?
Thanks
The head tilt at 3:06 I actually laughed out loud... Love your videos Steve
I'd be fine w the character part, but i'm so out of shape I would probably fail the fitness test.
I'm glad you have a microphone. You say what happened, what the law allows, the adjudication process, what happened within the system and subsequent actions. Judges are important, justice is important but having a microphone in the hands on demagogues and their agents are the norm today. I've never heard of your channel and will I stay tuned. In the age of Trump it is pleasant to happen across a CZcams channel such as yours. Thankyou!
when it comes to electing judges, at least in my area in California there is practically zero information about who you're voting for.
Ben behind the red Viper.
I feel like there is some form of where's Waldo type thing going on that most of us are unaware of.
@@lancecluster Steve has a $100 bill that he moves around?
@@lancecluster The Steve had a challenge for anyone who could present a Supreme Court case that ruled that nobody needed a drivers license while driving. He put up the hundred as the reward, and just to spice things up, would hide Ben in the background. Spotting Ben first turned turned into a quasi contest in it's own way. Just a bit of fun to do when watching the vid.
@@boikatsapiens499 Thank you for the details, I had noticed comments in multiple videos regarding things like "to the left of the two mugs", etc. Was just wondering. So has he explained the "voice over woman at the end of the videos"? I am aware of the tribute to his two dogs that have passed away, and there is also an owl thing going on.
🥈😎🍹✔ 2nd place
"... when people love each other very much..." Oh, you mean watch rom-coms?
Such an uplifting story! It's good to see such a crook like this judge get what's coming to her FINALLY! People like this, in positions of power literally ruin the lives of countless honest, innocent, decent people. They should all be rooted out, and taken to task!
So what office will she be running for next election? State senator, Congresswoman? People like that don't just give up and go away. They'll find out some other way to cause even more mayhem and suffering.
She might be 1st but Judge Post from Ottawa county is a close 2nd.
And she retires with full pension and lives happily ever after.
WOW!!! I’m in Houston Texas and I remember following videos about her in the news. She was totally dishonest. Great to see your follow up!
Any judge, attorney, law enforcement, witness, etc found guilty of perjury relating to a criminal case should be sentenced to the maximum penalty that defendant was facing.
Are her cases going to be RECALLED?
Good question. Seems to me that everything she has ever ruled on is now suspect.
@@danieljones317 If this was in Canada every case she heard would have the right to recall. But sorry, I don't know US law on this issue.
@@twilatharp3386 some prosecutors are forced to do it with cops, depending on jurisdiction and publicity.
They (prosecutors) could care less if they accidentally convict innocent people.
Down here, a majority of courts and city governments, not to mention the state courts, are all installed by the "Man Who Must Not Be Named" that has been a traitor to his own people.
Yea, that guy.
Amazing how his false disease threw a camouflage net over him, isn't it?
I think not as a matter of course unless individuals involved file appeals that are somehow accepted long after the fact. If she screwed up your case you had the option to appeal at that time.
@@twilatharp3386 well considering how our State and Federal supreme courts have mangled our common law I doubt it. Some if it becomes clear that she was biased in judging those cases.
Sometimes the system works!
It's a lot like how a broken clock still tells the correct time twice a day.
What does a person with a Law Degree do when they cannot be a lawyer?
Used car salesman perhapa
Go work for the federal government.
Realtor
Teach legal ethics. 😅
Law professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School. It's where Brennan and Steve's "favorite" lawyer both went.
I was really glad to hear you say that some should be held to a higher standard of conduct. All too often I see uneducated and poor and very young have the "full weight of the law brought upon them" while those who "have done so well over the years but made such a mistake, etc." receive a light consequence, despite the greater education and opportunity to do/know better.
*If Prosecutors & Cops were held to a higher standard... most of them would be in Prison! It is easy to have "High" standards when you don't have to worry about standards... Immunity!*
*We will Investigate ourselves!*
Say it loud !!!!!!!!!!!
Any bets on her next job involving the line “Would you like fries with that?”?
Mr. Lehto, if you were in that Court and Judge Brennen had been assigned to your case could you have filed an Affidavit of Prejudice and had another judge assigned to the case. I know in Washington I did that because I had won my Criminal Appeal and my Judge was taken off my re-sentencing for being biased in my case. Being a small town and a two judge Superior Court I didn't feel i could get a fare hearing, So, against my public pretender's advise and refusal to file it for me, I filed pro-se against Judge number 2 and a visiting judge from the next County came and re-sentenced me. ( of interest it was my Pro-se Supplemental Brief that I filed that overturned my sentence and not the one filed by my Court Appointed Attorney for the Appeal.) I love your commentary and teaching. Please continue with these informative legal videos.
Very interesting. Reminds me of judge Ann Segal ( new Mexico)......, now in Tucson,Az.
Hey Steve !
Your channel is so much fun to watch. Theater of the absurdities in the Legal World.
I can only guess as to where you sit on the Political Spectrum, and that's for you to know and me to find out.
Any chance of getting your take on Gretchen Whitmer ?
Signed,
Just Asking In California
Steve when I read the story I knew you would be doing a story. Again.
Gotta ask whose autograph is on the speed limit sign?
We had a city judge a few years back (new to the bench) who got busted for DWI. She started acting seriously wacky, not showing up for work, leaving the country for vacation when told she couldn't leave the state, trying to buy firearms at Walmart, etc. She ended up in jail for a time, then when released didn't show up for her court-appointed county job. Through all this she continued earning her full salary as a judge. It took FOREVER for NY to finally remove her from the bench.
