Reply #4: Remember its election year and in michigan judges are elected to the bench

[mrcheerful]

so they are more apt to go after people to get convictions in order to get votes. Judges also will harsher sentences during election years, a person convicted of a crime or one who takes a plea bargain for probation instead of jail often find themselves in prison because the judge is trying to look like he is tough on crime. I've seen cases that, in non election years, would have been thrown out of court end up going to court. And I have also heard of stuff like this topic suggests. The problem is reguardless what the OP thinks or says went down between the judge ex cop and DA, he has to prove said event happened. As far as the time between the accident and the charges, another non issue, all the police have to say is it took 2 weeks to investagate the accident. Remember michigan is one of the states that don't record "interviews" with suspects in most cases, they lead the suspect to believe he/she is being recorded but rarely is there a recording.
