Retired Judge Leonard Townsend today was subing for another Circuit Court Judge and handling the arrainment of Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beaty.

Everyone in the courtroom expected the arraignment to be uneventful with a not guilty plea and a bond to be set. Instead Judge Townsend decided to change the bond rulings of 2 other Judges and told Kwame Kilpatrick he could travel anywhere he pleased.

Townsend made it clear that special rights not givin to the average person must be givin to Kilpatrick because he is the Mayor of Detroit.

Assistant Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey did a great job explaining why this sudden act was wrong, but Judge Townsend made it quite clear of his agenda and that the law didnt matter.

Judge Townsend warned the Prosecutor she was losing her composure and all I could think was the Judge was losing his mind.

THE SECOND LAW IS WHEN THE POOR ARE ARRESTED AND THEIR PROBATION THEY VIOLATE. NO EXCUSES THEY ARE PUT BEHIND THE IRON GATES. IF YOUR CASE ISN'T HIGH PROFILE, ANY REQUEST RESULTS IN DENILE.....

Why did WWJ pull the plug on the live-broadcast of the trial right when Ofcr. White was going to be cross-examined by the Mayor's legal team???

JUDGE TOWNSEND WAS A VERY DISAPPOINTING JUDGE TODAY. I WAS REALLY APPALLED BY HIM TAKING OVER THE LAWYERS JOB. HE MADE THEIR DAY QUITE EASY. DID HE GET HIS SHARE OF THE LAWYER'S FEE. I HAD A GOOD DAY HOWEVER 30 MINUTES LATER WHEN JUDGE GILES SAID "PUT THAT DAMN TETHER BACK ON YOUR ANKLE, AND YOUR AZZ BETTER NOT LEAVE THIS CITY :O) LOL

Im a Emergency Medical Technician and in the last year I worked to pass a law to make it mandatory for all ambulances in the State of Michigan to carry Heart Defibrillators!!! In 2005 only around 20% of private ambulances carried them!!! Because I passed the law several organizations have me on a job black list and will not hire me!!! It doesnt matter because I recently became an EMT to save lives and by having Defibrillators on all ambulances many lives will be saved!!! In my spare time I also collect unusual antique stuff and I have a large Faygo collection dating back to 1921!!!
