The judge wouldn't even allow the girl to deliver a victim impact statement. Her dad said of the judge “He has destroyed everything we’ve worked at to get my daughter to start healing … in just 15 minutes he destroyed all of that. “We were finally seeing her starting to be a little bit more like herself again. The scar was there, and the scab was starting to heal, then the judge ripped it off and we’re back to square one.”
A victim impact statement is read at sentencing. But he found the boy not guilty. (reversed decision) Therefore no sentencing. Therefore no impact statement.
@@davexb6595No, he was found guilty, then the judge vacated his own ruling at the hearing set for sentencing. Long story: He was indicted on three offenses, found guilty of one. The Judge scheduled post-trial motions and sentencing two months after the guilty verdict. One of the motions filed post trial was a motion to vacate the verdict, or find the mandatory sentence unconstitutional. In his ruling, he said that he wanted to sentence the convicted to less than the mandatory minimum. Since he could not do that, he wrote that he was reversing his own finding of guilt so that he could effectively circumvent the sentencing guidelines he would otherwise be required to impose. Given that he had been found guilty, and he was set for sentencing, her expecting to give a victim impact statement and then being denied the opportunity by the judge reversing himself is especially cruel.
@@Ashbrash1998 Problem is he said he changed his mind from reviewing the same evidence he felt was strong enough to ruin Drew Clinton's life forever. It was also stated there was no new evidence so the evidence stayed the same. Evidence can't say "your guilty enough for me to ruin your life" and "not guilty at all" at the same time. Unless you can explain how evidence can say 2 drastically different verdicts at once then the judge is clearly guilty of corruption. If new evidence was presented I could understand it and it would make sense.
@@davexb6595 I have no doubt that she was a victim. Judge initially decided that too. The guy had already been found guilty so it was a bit late to "revisit the evidence". If you want to do that, do it before you give your verdict.
He was removed from the bench, i.e fired from judge position. He was not removed from the case. Idk if double jeopardy plays a role in the verdict, though. I hope something can be done.
According to the law, every single case a judge like this has presided in are reviewed again by someone else, and in case there are other cases of wrongful rulings. This also applies to people in similar positions of authority.
Cases like this should NOT be decided by a judge on a bench trial. It should have went to a Jury Trial. Way too much power over the victim and defendant for one person to determine.
The right to a bench trial is a right the defense only gets to execute when the defense feels that the testimony or evidence may be too inflamatory, too prejudicial for laypersons to weigh fairly in the accused's favor. The prosecutor does not choose a bench trial, the accused does.
@@theofficialadhdteacher Yes He can vacate 'guilty' verdict but the legal standard is pretty high and its usually reserved for cases where there are multiple charges applied and the jury picks the higher one to convict with one element not proved, instead of a lesser standard that was proved, or where the judge looks at the entire case 'in most favorable light to Prosecutor', and still finds the evidence wanting the beyond a reasonable doubt standard.
@@BTURNER1961Is this a case where the girl could sue the judge for slander? Since he is now on national television calling her a liar? Sorry if I’m asking the wrong person. You seem educated on the legal system in the US and I am Irish. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Kenzalina_ Virtually impossible. 1. He was a public official who was performing his professional duties and they have very broad immunity. 2. He picked his words carefully. "I did not believe her' was the quote you heard. Anyone is entitled to express that opinion. that's not even close to calling her a liar. He could have said "I thought she was lying" and its still an expression of personal opinion.
In America, you have this utterly bonkers system of electing your law enforcement and judicial officials, instead of having them qualify for the job. The result is this sort of thing, and they are not going to stop happening until your system changes.
Absolutely correct. Dude is not poor in any sense of the word. I strongly suspect he was bought off, and they just didn't have enough evidence to charge him directly with bribery.
Portraying himself as the victim in this case is beyond galling. He's like Trump. "I'm THE VICTIM! I've been Put Upon!". Yeah, right. Go cry to Mr. Bubba when you're in prison, judge.
This is a case of "Good ole white boys" taking care of each other. If this boy had been Hispanic or black, he absolutely would not have considered anything less than the maximum sentencing.
If race was a factor you’d have never heard about this case because it would have been ruled not guilty from the on set. The fact the judge changed his mind with no explanation means he was likely bribed and would have changed the ruling for any race provided they pay him enough

@@ninabriesch4184Yep. In analyzing body language, there are certain "tells" when a person is lying. One of the more obvious is when their eyes look upward and to the side. The "honorable" judge does that several times during this interview. His whole story doesn't pass the "smell test."
There was not a single judge on that panel, that does not understand what it feels like to have second thoughts about a verdict they have announced, what is like to wonder or worry if they got it wrong. It comes with the territory, but they also know that this case with this judge did not look like or feel or smell anything like that. There is a stench about this 'change of heart. He's not telling us the whole truth here.
He says sacrificing a poor judge while not remaining eye contact, he's not only a lier, he's done far worse for his counterparts, you need to investigate further.

I have conducted over 7,000 interviews for broadcast as a television producer. I can tell you his eye contact gives him away. He is lying to the interviewer and his discomfort with what he's saying is clear. He tries to distance himself from his actions and that's why he won't make eye contact during the interview.
You can’t rationally make those conclusions. They are speculation. If you are a tv producer, why are you not asking why this story failed to review the evidence?
@@kevinhornbuckleWell, if a person with some expertise cannot make that conclusion, I wonder how the judge was able to determine the alleged victim was lying...🤔 'cause, you know, he went straight to "lying", not "insufficient evidence" or "beyond a reasonable doubt" or "a case of she says/he says"... But what do I know? Maybe they bestow special psychic powers to judges when they are nominated. 🤷🏼♂️
@@kevinhornbuckle Please, I'm not a TV producer by any stretch, and even I can tell he is lying through his toothless mouth. He is looking so far down his nose you can count the individual hairs. You can't tell me he isn't being condecending to the reporter. He doesn't look her in the eye because he thinks he is too far up the pecking order to care what she, or any 'common' person thinks. He is just doing the interview to humor the masses. I'm gonna call it 'Trump Syndrome'. He's convinced that the law is for everyone else and doesn't apply to someone as 'important' as him.
I would have liked to see them grill him about what exactly changed his mind about the case and why he ruled guilty in the first place if he claims the evidence doesn't indicate guilt.

@@idwtgymn Such as system already exists. There's several levels of appeal courts beyond the first trial court. If indeed the evidence was insufficient for a conviction then it would be thrown out by a higher court upon appeal.
@@idwtgymnProbably, I don't understand the American system. Was this conviction by jury? Or the judge alone? In my part of the world, if the judge feels that a mistake has been made, either by himself or by the jury, he could send it up to the appellate court for review. But he cannot reverse it himself.
@@idwtgymnexactly what I said. This is how innocent people end up spending decades in jail just to be exonerated and have to be compensated in the millions,
@@RedbeardianIt doesn't work that way. In order to appeal, you have to find something wrong with the original trial. Believe it or not, simply saying that the evidence doesn't support the verdict is not grounds for an appeal.
2:05 No. A mistake is when you buy the wrong toothpaste; a mistake is when you buy the wrong type of ingredient for a recipe; a MISTAKE is when you buy the wrong part for a car.

First the judge's statement was classic victim blaming. Second your comment is another version of victim blaming.

it really does look exactly like that. and partly because he can't really articulate what made the change. AND his whole demeanor is really sus.
The judge wouldn't even allow the girl to deliver a victim impact statement. Her dad said of the judge “He has destroyed everything we’ve worked at to get my daughter to start healing … in just 15 minutes he destroyed all of that.
“We were finally seeing her starting to be a little bit more like herself again. The scar was there, and the scab was starting to heal, then the judge ripped it off and we’re back to square one.”
A victim impact statement is read at sentencing. But he found the boy not guilty. (reversed decision) Therefore no sentencing. Therefore no impact statement.
@@davexb6595No, he was found guilty, then the judge vacated his own ruling at the hearing set for sentencing.
Long story: He was indicted on three offenses, found guilty of one. The Judge scheduled post-trial motions and sentencing two months after the guilty verdict. One of the motions filed post trial was a motion to vacate the verdict, or find the mandatory sentence unconstitutional. In his ruling, he said that he wanted to sentence the convicted to less than the mandatory minimum. Since he could not do that, he wrote that he was reversing his own finding of guilt so that he could effectively circumvent the sentencing guidelines he would otherwise be required to impose. Given that he had been found guilty, and he was set for sentencing, her expecting to give a victim impact statement and then being denied the opportunity by the judge reversing himself is especially cruel.
@davexb6595 Bit he initially found him guilty and then said the evidence wasn't conclusive enough. Not that he was innocent without a doubt
@@Ashbrash1998
Problem is he said he changed his mind from reviewing the same evidence he felt was strong enough to ruin Drew Clinton's life forever.
It was also stated there was no new evidence so the evidence stayed the same.
Evidence can't say "your guilty enough for me to ruin your life" and "not guilty at all" at the same time.
Unless you can explain how evidence can say 2 drastically different verdicts at once then the judge is clearly guilty of corruption.
If new evidence was presented I could understand it and it would make sense.
@@davexb6595 I have no doubt that she was a victim. Judge initially decided that too. The guy had already been found guilty so it was a bit late to "revisit the evidence". If you want to do that, do it before you give your verdict.
So the predator walks off scott free? How does his verdict still stand after removal for this very case?
He was removed from the bench, i.e fired from judge position. He was not removed from the case. Idk if double jeopardy plays a role in the verdict, though. I hope something can be done.
According to the law, every single case a judge like this has presided in are reviewed again by someone else, and in case there are other cases of wrongful rulings. This also applies to people in similar positions of authority.
This judge got PAID
The check cleared too.
Or coerced
That was my instinct as well.
How rich are Drew's parents exactly?
No, just a Republican.
Cases like this should NOT be decided by a judge on a bench trial. It should have went to a Jury Trial. Way too much power over the victim and defendant for one person to determine.
The right to a bench trial is a right the defense only gets to execute when the defense feels that the testimony or evidence may be too inflamatory, too prejudicial for laypersons to weigh fairly in the accused's favor. The prosecutor does not choose a bench trial, the accused does.
The judge could overrule a jury guilty verdict
@@theofficialadhdteacher Yes He can vacate 'guilty' verdict but the legal standard is pretty high and its usually reserved for cases where there are multiple charges applied and the jury picks the higher one to convict with one element not proved, instead of a lesser standard that was proved, or where the judge looks at the entire case 'in most favorable light to Prosecutor', and still finds the evidence wanting the beyond a reasonable doubt standard.
@@BTURNER1961Is this a case where the girl could sue the judge for slander? Since he is now on national television calling her a liar?

In America, you have this utterly bonkers system of electing your law enforcement and judicial officials, instead of having them qualify for the job. The result is this sort of thing, and they are not going to stop happening until your system changes.
Amen! Election of judges only throws the judicial system into the political arena.

How did such a disreputable person become a judge?
Welcome to America, that who gets the jobs like these.
Are you not black living in America? Because you look black to me is this like a rhetorical question or something
This is a case of "Good ole white boys" taking care of each other. If this boy had been Hispanic or black, he absolutely would not have considered anything less than the maximum sentencing.
Not true . We wouldn’t have heard about it at all if he was any other race .
I have to agree with your assessment 100%.
If race was a factor you’d have never heard about this case because it would have been ruled not guilty from the on set. The fact the judge changed his mind with no explanation means he was likely bribed and would have changed the ruling for any race provided they pay him enough

@@ninabriesch4184Yep. In analyzing body language, there are certain "tells" when a person is lying. One of the more obvious is when their eyes look upward and to the side. The "honorable" judge does that several times during this interview. His whole story doesn't pass the "smell test."
There was not a single judge on that panel, that does not understand what it feels like to have second thoughts about a verdict they have announced, what is like to wonder or worry if they got it wrong. It comes with the territory, but they also know that this case with this judge did not look like or feel or smell anything like that. There is a stench about this 'change of heart. He's not telling us the whole truth here.
He says sacrificing a poor judge while not remaining eye contact, he's not only a lier, he's done far worse for his counterparts, you need to investigate further.

I have conducted over 7,000 interviews for broadcast as a television producer. I can tell you his eye contact gives him away. He is lying to the interviewer and his discomfort with what he's saying is clear. He tries to distance himself from his actions and that's why he won't make eye contact during the interview.
You can’t rationally make those conclusions. They are speculation. If you are a tv producer, why are you not asking why this story failed to review the evidence?

But what do I know? Maybe they bestow special psychic powers to judges when they are nominated. 🤷🏼♂️

Ya, brilliant, lets have a system where judges who realize they made a mistake have no way to correct it, and instead just let the wrongful conviction stand. You have made a compelling case against democracy.
@@idwtgymn Such as system already exists. There's several levels of appeal courts beyond the first trial court. If indeed the evidence was insufficient for a conviction then it would be thrown out by a higher court upon appeal.
@@idwtgymnProbably, I don't understand the American system. Was this conviction by jury? Or the judge alone?
