worked as a clerk for over 10 years. being a judge does not mean you are not an ignorant jerk.
Yea but the silliness of everything, is beyond comprehension
They’re regular folks and sun like everyone else. She seems like she’s burnt out.
@@tinawindham6958 nah, just like most americans, she is a complete narcissist who thinks she is the most important and interesting thing in every space she occupies
She surely knows how a professional should behave. The sheer ridiculous and bare-faced arrogance of her behaviour is insufferable.
Same for doctors. After years of experience I've learned to respect people, not titles.
My neighbor was murdered and her son was accused. It turned out that he had a drug problem but we didn’t see signs. He had been to the house for dinner and had done work for us. My roommate had to testify. I went with her for moral support. I can assure you, there was nothing funny about that day. The fact that this woman could not take the murder trial of a 2 year old seriously is absolutely despicable. I hope that she is thrown off the bench
and she is a mother of 4!
Just another number in the docket
Were you in the ct room w/her? Was he convicted?
Yes I was in the courtroom. The trial ended in a mistrial. My roommate has to testify again. She’s dreading it. The family is still in limbo. It’s all very tragic
@@elizabethhamm5320 wow, another example of someone else's behavior affecting an innocent person, becoming collateral damage in the presence of evil. I hope your roommate is patiently waiting for the matter to resolve with peace and contentment. Peace to you and yours!
there is something very wrong with anyone who can be this horrible during a murder trial.
And especially about a child!!!
@@sheilagravely5621, agreed
@@Aqua-Fyre, the Reign of Terror was as horrid as it sounds. It was very similar to both the Roman "bread and circuses" and the Inquisitions' _auto de fe_ !! In all three cases, a jubilant. downright carnival atmosphere down to getting children involved was not just permitted but outright encouraged.
I'm sure it's happened many , many times.
@@csc8697, and again... there is something very wrong with people like that.
She's the last person to criticize anyone's appearance.
If anything she should be texting weigh watchers.She’s pathetic.
This is annoyingly common, it's easy to say be the better person but when these troglodytes have any form of influence or power sometimes it's worth pointing out their more obvious flaws to get them to shut up for a bit. I worked with a guy like this woman, he was in his mid forties with an outdated punk/nu-metal haircut and was clinically obese. Snarky comments towards only other men within the office constantly. Unfortunately there's too many of these personality types around, they're delusional but they have the run of society!
@@Aqua-Fyre not true
@@Aqua-Fyre Errr... you don't sound bitter at all. No, really.
@@Ann-sj4ptOkay 🤦🏻♂️😂
the blatant lack of empathy and psychopathological traits of Tracy is astounding. thank you for bringing light to this case.
Holy crap, "psychopath" is even a synonym for jerkass these days!
I'm not dumping on you, btw, you're using it like it is used these days so no insult.
@@goblin-night "psychopath" and "psychopathological" do not mean the same thing.... psychopathological pretty much means "concerning psychological pathologies"..... not the op's problem that you either cannot read properly or have a lacking vocabulary
Both terms weren't necessarily appropriate in this circumstance.
@@dreamingtree6093 a distinct lack of empathy, which she clearly has, is a psychological pathology..... infact, everyone has psychological pathologies to some degree... how exactly is the word "not necessarily appropriate in this circumstance"?
I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror?
Does she see an older, overweight, woman with camel toe when she wears jeans? I'm just curious how she feels about herself. And I honestly only wrote that in the hopes that she will be reading these comments. She needs self-awareness.
This woman is absolutely unbelievable. She is out of control. All of her cases should be re-tried.
She should lose her law liscense and never allowed in a courtroom. Deplorable.
@@ELine39 no need to attack this person and insult their intelligence like you seem to think is ok to do. Nasty behaviour on your part.
@jf2176 hopefully after this they wont. she doesnt belong in any position where one needs to take their job seriously.
I am not sure judges have to be licensed as lawyers. And to others, thanks for making this political, where it should not matter at all.
@@ELine39your lack of intelligence is oozing through the screen. To make fun of somebody who had a typo is nothing you should be proud of.
@@ELine39reddit mod moment
She's rude & disrespectful. Scary someone like her can decide futures. She seems self-centered & yes very immature. Great analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊🧡🧡
She has nerve making fun of anyone’s physical appearance
Classic case of fat oaf judging others
Yup.
Yeah, but she herself is so fat that her blood type is "ragout" (c)
Yh weird how she never said somebody was ugly, fat and has no eggs
Color of the skin?
I love how dry Grande is, i have never seen him laugh, but you can tell he is kind of smirking while retelling the textmessages. Love this channel!
Have you seen him with his dog? Absolutely heartwarming ❤️ 🐕
He is very subtle.
No i havent, i better look it up!! @@Blissfulnessence
His deadpan style has me cracking up and falling off of the couch.
This and when Dr. Grande is trying to explain Sonichu in the Christian Weston Chandler video is the two videos that makes me crack up the most!@@JulieCaptivatedinFl
She should be removed. All judges are not created equally. She lacks professionalism and is not at all impartial. There are a lot of judges who lack the ability to be impartial. I love Dr. Grande’s 5th grade analogy.
@@Aqua-Fyre Awww, poor tubby orange baby!
A buddy is a retired judge so he HAD to be impartial.
Disgraceful behavior. Dr.Grande never fails to make me laugh at the most wildly inappropriate times. Praying for forgiveness. Thank you, Dr. Grande.
Yes he’s so entertaining and his comments are so apt.
@@ELine39 *YES...he is a doctor. Dr. Grande has a Ph.D.* in Counselor Education and Supervision. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Professional (LCDP). *What does your **_inaccurate_** comment have to do with @AnastasiaFafo saying he makes her laugh?* Even if he didn't have a doctorate...it wouldn't mean he couldn't make someone laugh!* If you don't like him...fluff off!
@@ELine39 research fail, friend.
sometimes you have to laugh just to keep from crying. it's survival ☺️❤️
@@ELine39 You’re wrong. He earned a doctorate. He is a Ph.D. Research all that that entails before ‘reminding’ people.
She acted more like a court jester than judge
LOL
She's an example of why you don't elect judges.
They should be nominated by their peers on the basis of merit.
She was as unprofessional as they come.
Probably would be better. But it comes with its own problems. Being chosen by peers will make it a popularity contest. Who has the most charisma instead of merit. Will they vote for the most qualified candidate or will they vote for the one they go golfing with every Saturday?
Elected judges just like elected politicians, what can go wrong?
If they are nominated by peers, wouldn't they then be elected into position?
Yeah, voting your friends in is 0% better lol
you have no idea how worse things can get when your judicial system becomes a pure oligarchy.
This judge needs to be removed from office immediately. She should be stripped of any license that is required to work in the legal system. She is a disgrace.
OMG, I never heard about this case thank you. As an attorney, and as someone who has watched many judges in court and in videos, I am just floored at this judges behavior. She is not just a bad judge, she needs to be disbarred. As you said, her level of maturity based on the comments she made are beyond grade school. I hav never known any adults speak like that and trash someone just for their appearance. Only kids under age 10 even bother with things like she said. That employee baliff who joined in her obnoxious texting either is just as immature and rude, or, another thing I have seen happen, is the bailiff is trying to brown-nose the judge who must be the boss or treated like the boss in that court. More shame that when she was caught, she was so dismissive. Hope she's disbarred.
@commonsense2680 You must see a lot of misbehavior as an attorney [not sure of your specialty]. It seems like people in positions of power like US judges who can determine one’s fate NEED to have a psych evaluation themselves before holding office. That impartial psych eval could possibly weed out insensitive people, those pre-disposed to bias, and [let’s face it] the a**holes.
This judge had to know there's a camera behind her in her own court room right? I know she was new to being a judge but she knows the law and what's expected in court. Very irresponsible on her part. Very interesting case Dr. Grande and well done as always.
That's just arrogance, I think.
i think she wasn't aware that her manipulation of the camera angle was reversed
She definitely knew, considering she tried to have it removed. And then tried to obfuscate the viewing angle. Eventually, it was pointed back down on her and caught her in the act. What a disgracefully petulant dingus she is.
She knew the camera was there, but apparently her area in the recording was covered. She would have known that. What she probably didn’t know, was that it got uncovered
This is unacceptable. Can you imagine if Jurors did this? She should be removed as a judge period. She made a mockery of the court.
It's almost like she was oblivious to her situation. Like it's no big deal. I'm willing to bet she can't believe she's at fault.
Amen! She’s a absolute child! She has the emotional capacity of a 12 year old mean girl
This is outrageous. She needs to be fired and all the cases she presided over has to be looked at again....maybe even convictions thrown out. Ridiculous
Best suggestion in the comments!
Agreed
I agree that this opens the door to look back at all her cases…it could be bad
@@Aqua-Fyre with or without her cell phone, the lady is no good. She needs to be fired, big time
Those convicted when she was judge will probably be looking if it can help them and lawyers will be looking if it can make them some money.
How embarrassing. You can’t stay away from texting long enough to just do your job. 🤦🏻♀️
People do this a lot in the small town I live in. No social skills, very insecure etc. It's one thing to do this in your free time but letting it affect your job is inexcusable.
Most people know if u put it in writing…you can’t deny it. Clearly someone had it in for her.
@@tinawindham6958er she was filmed doing it,and the messages were there.She did it to herself.
@@Ann-sj4pt Auto-fornication? 🤣
@@marybob23 lol i guess so 🤣
She lacks the maturity, gravitas, self reflection and respect of the position to keep this job. I don’t care if she’s new as a judge, she’s old enough to know better. She is the one who’s gross.
What a child. How the hell is she a judge 🤦🏻
$$$$
Voters
"It was like a 5th grader became judge..."😂Wow, my heart goes out to that poor Prosecutor that the Judge dogged in txts to the bailiff. If that prosecutor had any self esteem prior to that, it's probably seriously wounded now hearing what was texted about him. 😳 Tracy needs to be removed from the bench. Her behavior is reckless and harmful to the supposed fairness to our justice system and everyone involved in the cases she precided over. As a judge, responsibility and professionalism are needed, her level of immaturity is surprising. Thank you for another interesting case, Dr. Grande! I look forward to every video, thank u for your hard work at posting one each day. ❤
I have to say, I was shocked when I read about this Judge! What was she thinking?? Happy to see you covering it!
This case is a good example of how a little power can make someone feel untouchable
She might also have been unconsciously sabotaging that position of power, well aware she wasn't up to the job even if she behaved herself. Getting caught (which was inevitable with 500 immature texts in one trial) was her way out of her job without having to admit failure by just quitting.
Gross negligence + behaviour unbecoming. And you wonder why felons get light sentences? In France, when you get a driving licence, you have to drive for 2 years without any tickets or go back to a learner. This policy should be applied for many high public profile roles such as judge and policemen/women.
She's a real gem! Her making fun of others is kind of ironic seeing as she is a massive Hog...has she looked in the mirror lately?
*Maybe instead of pointing out what she perceives as others' imperfections, she should focus more on her own!*
People’s lives were on line and she’s on her phone being a jackass?? What the hell???!!! She should be put behide bars for her negligence.
I was a court reporter for over 40 years. All the judges and lawyers, court personnel that I worked with were extremely noble and practiced their professions with integrity, loyal to the system.
I worked in the system for 33 years. I’d said about half.
Yea, I'm sure they were.
crazy to think there are some judges out there who are this bias and unprofessional.
Most I'd say are like this.
@@louisasmilesworked in the system for 33 years. You are correct.
"Biased" not "bias."
Like the judges presiding over the Trump persecutions?
@@charlescarter3867 Trump has been lying his whole life now cries like a little B when he doesn't get his way
I just recently turned 54, and in my time I have learned that people can and will disappoint you on the regular - particularly local "celebrities" and politicians or others held to higher standards. My guess is that texts like these by judges are not uncommon in today's world though before it was just gossiped about behind closed doors.
The irony is, the more somebody should be held to a higher standard, the lower the standard they are held to by their admirers.
This is similar to Surgeons and nurses caught mocking patients who are under anesthesia, sickening. We are a fallen nation, there are no adults left it seems
Happy late birthday🙇
I totally agreed nothing new just technology are new. In general employees will talk of their customers, clients, patients etc she got caught because it she texted I bet she also open her mouth behind close door all day.
@@FireFreakAceThank you!
If laypeople aren’t allowed to have their phones in court, neither should court personnel.
If she wants to make fun of someone, hand her a mirror. She's nothing special to look at, definitely not someone who should be all high and mighty about someone else's looks.
Sometimes I find myself watching Dr. Grande videos to understand the motivations & psychology of other people, but I end up learning alot about myself.
He is brilliant
Hi tracy
@@patrickmcdonagh539😂😂😂😂
This is crazy!plus she’s “chatting” about the trial in court.She has to be debarred.
To quote Darrell Brooks:
“How is you a judge?”
Too funny
A judge with bad judgment is scary.
Well, it is a character flaw but let's not judge her entirely on one flaw, we all experienced lapses of judgement and acted impulsively in social situations at least one time in life; her position in power makes that character flaw fatal in her line of work though.
Her next steps:
1.) Revamping her image and develop name-recognition by appearing on Dancing With The Stars.
2.) Running for Congress!
Every case she ever pretended to preside over needs to have another round with an actual judge. For General Purposes.
How embarrassing for her. The person she was talking to must have shown all her texts. She should be removed as a judge if she hasn’t already and disbarred too.
The other person no longer works there.
Our institutions are filled with clowns
Well said, and unfortunately so true.
The need to make a movie about modern American leadership and title it "Planet of the Adolescents."
Even judges can’t get off the damn phone.
Scary..
She is disgusting. I don't know how she can have ANY self respect after this. I feel like I could rant about her behaviour and not stop. Thank you Dr Grande, you Sir, are a bloody legend. ❤
Well, at least Tracy was so obvious that they caught on up front. So often people obtain positions of power that they should never have because of their lack of morals, respect for boundaries and empathy. At least the state of Oklahoma didn’t have to suffer this one long. Thanks for covering this Dr. Grande.
As an Oklahoman, I can assure you that we have plenty to suffer about these days without crappy jurists in the mix, too!
It's a shame that there is more than 1 bad judge infesting our legal system. Rather than being impartial, there are many judges that seem to be politically motivated when conducting trials and rendering decisions.
They don't seem to be. They clearly are.
This deplorable windbag seems less politically motivated and more narcissistically motivated. Either way, I certainly hope, for the sake of any/all Oklahomans, that she has her law license permanently revoked so these people never have to worry about dealing with her petulant depravity again.
I would be interested in hear which judges you think are politically motivated. Because giving a decision you don't like doesn't mean "politically motivated" lol. Judges are required to give their legal reasoning on their rulings. Also you have juries and and grand juries who's decisions do not involve the judge. With big federal cases a case must pass many different checks like a grand jury, multiple judges, and ultimately for criminal proceedings - a jury. Are you saying all of these different people are politically aligned and politically motivated? That would be quite the accusation.
Unbelievable immaturity. 🤦🏻♀️
This is the nearest that I’ve seen Dr. Grande to smiling or laughing during a video. Love the quotes from the texts. 🤣
I’m a lawyer and her outrageous behaviour put the entire system of justice into disrepute. She not only should be thrown off the bench but she should be barred from practicing law as well. What she did is appalling.
You think your line of work is reputable?..... 😅😂🤣
Wow Dr. Grande, I was just reading about this yesterday! Excellent. I'm looking forward to your analysis. This is definitely not in any way, shape or form appropriate behavior by a judge.
This is genuinely terrifying.
This is the first time I’ve been within a minute of a video posting! :) I love your mannerisms. And cacti. Lol.
Wow! and Wow! You know this isn't her first time! What a Judge 😠 😡 Good evening Dr. Grande ❤
_1 new text message_
Hey Todd you think she thought she studying for the CANDY bar exam? 🤢
A person like her should NEVER have made it that far up in the judicial system. She could be working in a seedy bar judging arm wrestling contests... and I still wouldn't trust her decision.
I do believe she's going to be fired. However, I do wonder how good of an attorney she was? Did she act like this outside of the courtroom? It sounds like she had contempt for the judicial system.
Talk about Unprofessional! That's outrageous! And during a Murder Trial??!? For a 2 year old BABY??!! Poor Little Baby!🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
she wrote it was boring . omg
I think she was prejudiced against guys. She had them sit in pink chairs, to learn their place. She sided with the defense, whose lawyer, if I understood correctly, was female, and every other guy had a flaw that she had to state immediately to another woman. With all of this mean girl action resembling middle school, she likely didn't pay enough attention to actually being a judge. I guess you could also say she was too judgemental to judge. Thank you as always, Dr. Grande.
@@Aqua-Fyre Imagine if that was a dude in power saying that about ladies. That sleazeball would be fired in minutes. This gal has serious issues.
@@megalopolis2015 Her excessive weight is significant. As Dr Grande pointed out, boundary issues were all over the place here. Shame always figures big in boundary issues, and shame also figures in on excessive weight because it often results from an urge to cover oneself up (which is essentially the definition of shame) and it leads to further shame of one's own appearance. Her critical focus on other's appearance was a projection of her negative feelings about her own appearance. Her focus on men and her need to humiliate them sounds like anger from sexual and romantic frustration. It shows that it's a self-defeating circle for her, because her excessive weight guarantees her romantic and sexual opportunities remain limited. No doubt along with her shame about her worth in men's eyes is her fear of intimacy. Her focus on appearances and her immaturity suggest fear of intimacy also.
@@Aqua-Fyre Very true.
My mom passed a few years ago and her nickname for me was cactus. I love seeing all of your cacti in the background, I collect them as well!
Another hit from Dr. Todd!! 🎉 Thanks for all you do!
She has no cause to criticize anyone else for physical appearance
My lawyer, who was in the Facebook group, just told me about this last week! I’m so excited to hear your take, Dr. Grande!
At her age such behavior is her baseline- pity that only the bailiff has been fired- the bailiff is the subordinate of the judge, the judge should have been fired and bailiff disciplined within the court personnel guidelines.
I believe she will get bounced, too. The bailiffs fate is encouraging.
For the judge it is a separate process. I have every expectation she'll soon be out the door.
Wow. To know what goes on, not always but it clearly happens, in a Judge's mind. Yikes.
The interpretation of her having trouble making friends is so on point
That’s crazy how this woman determined the fate of a lot of people despite her being very incompetent. I hope no innocent person ended up in Jail because of her
I refused to believe that was the Judge. Those messages were 100% the CZcams comment section of court tv. That lady was at home watching the case on her laptop 🤣
Nice Judge busting Dr Grande. This breaks new ground for you. Perfectly articulated!
If it's this bad now with a 50 yr old judge, I shudder to think what we're in for when the next generation takes the bench. 😳🙄😖
they will not even hide the phone
Oh my gosh what a terrifying thought that gen-zers will one day be doctors, lawyers etc 😮
Thank you for the fascinating video, some people never grow up!
I live very close to this. It makes me so sad that she would abuse power like this. Very immature.
Hell yeah I live for these uploads Dr G! Thank you for uploading so consistently! Content is unmatched!
You are very smart and witty. My daughter told me about your channel. Great content and you get to the point without leaving out irrelevant information.
The defendants should get new trials
Yes, I saw this in the news. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for your regular coverage and analysis of such timely topics.❤ We look forward to your videos every day.❤ It’s Grande time. Let’s do this!❤
We had a similar incident here in maricopa county Arizona involving a judge and her staff texting and emailing raunchy jokes about plaintiffs witnesses, and victims . But she resigned I believe, before
they were able to remove her.
You’d think they’d learn their lesson.
As a former 5th grade teacher, my students wouldn't have dared for a LOT less.
It's always shocking to see how little self-awareness some people have; although, Guess it could also just be an indicator of how uncaring people can be. Great analysis as always Dr. Grande
The Judge was dealing with people who worked under her. She was soliciting poor behavior from those who had lesser status. She craved the Puppet Master role.
Love when you dive deeper than the bad acts
Hand to God I just learned something about myself. The correlation is between a lot of moving and connecting with people.
Thank you Dr. Grande.
Dr Grande I love your analysis and you have such a subtle sense of humor that is indeed the best part of your videos!!!!
Dr Grande I am so glad that you covering this
Your captions are always hilarious! I love your dry sense of humor.
Great insight, Dr. Grande w/ your deep dive into judge’s alignment w/ bailiff through her mockery of witnesses and jury. That was thought-provoking. Thanks much.
“Tracy had boundary problems”... Yep and a horrible sense of fashion was one of them. Right along with all the other hundred judicial issues
Clearly too much fast food & no exercise added in to the bargain - the irony
I don’t think that there are many adults left in the United States. There are people of adult age but almost none behave like adults traditionally behave.
Or maybe it’s even worse:
“The species Man and Marmoset
Are intimately linked:
The Marmoset survives, as yet,
But Men are all extinct.”
I cannot believe adults act this way.
Rest assured, this behavior exposed just the tip of her immature iceberg
As a lawyer I've seen numerous judges with their face in their hands sleeping!At least Tracy was observing...
Sadly looks like some judges in the USA are to be found at the bottom
Of a pond.
😮
Tracy is too old to be wrapped up in smart phones.
Imagine being on trial for murder and the judge is sitting there texting. Wow
Dr Grande... You crack me up & make my day with your amazing sense of humour
Hello, Dr. Grande! How are you doing tonight? Thank You!
This is ridiculous! She couldn’t even control herself even though she knew she was being recorded. Disgusting!
Then we wonder why some court cases turn out with baffling results!!!
I realize there are many great judges but judges are people which means there are really bad ones too. It’s nice to see one being held accountable for horrible actions !!!
Thanks Dr Grande for giving to me this perspective of the mechanisms humans use to socialize. I have noticed we do that, of course, but have never thought in our inner motivations in this way. In regards to the judge case, this is another example of the fragility of the system, ant it is important to be aware of it. Very good video.
I see judges like the one who presided over Darrell Brooks’ trial and am in awe of her patience and commitment to the values of fairness and adherence to law.
And then I see someone like this.
Is this like the saying that the doctor that gets the lowest passing grade is still called doctor?
Judges need to be the highest quality of person we have in society. That’s a tall order because the highest quality people in society tend to pursue more scientific endeavours. Consequently we have a lot of seriously underqualified people deciding futures of others in the legal system.
Bad judges is an extreme problem that requires swift and unsympathetic value calls.
if you see a fat lady judge you know you have a problem....
Well everyone can’t be like a black judge in South Carolina. My memory is failing me. He was the kind of person you could trust with your bank account or newborn. Now I have to go look up his name.
this makes me sick. shes supposed to be the impartial part of the trial. she needs to gooooooo
She's not the only judge that does this type of thing. She just got caught.
She should be ashamed of herself, a mockery of the justice system. She doesn't deserve to be called a judge, and she needs to be judged for being a fool!
