HOW A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL RATES "judge" COLLIER

I FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING HOW A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL, A PRACTICING ATTORNEY, HAS RATED COLLIER'S PERFORMANCE AS A "judge," APPLYING THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION.


You can confirm COLLIER's professional rating by a colleague by following this link:
http://www.ratethecourts.com/results.php?id=37899&judge=167495&list=1
Be sure to click on the purple "Witness" tab at the website to see how a witness rated COLLIER's performance in the courtroom. EVEN A NEUTRAL WITNESS OBSERVED COLLIER'S BIAS AGAINST A DEFENDANT AND FOR SALISBURY.

It is certainly evident that COLLIER, the self-admitted "C" student, has scored a resounding "F" in his performance as a jurist.


You will note that the respondent to the survey gave up halfway through the survey because he/she wore the ink off the "F" key!

This assessment of COLLIER's performance by a practicing attorney is right on the mark and says it all.

NO BIG SURPRISE HERE!  


I'M SURE THAT MEDINA COUNTY DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE ARE DULY PROUD THAT THEY'VE HANDED THIS COMPLETELY CORRUPT INCOMPETENT 18 YEARS OF UNCONTESTED TENURE ON THE BENCH.


IT IS VERY EASY TO SEE WHY HOLMAN HAS SO EASILY GAINED CONTROL OF COLLIER AND WHY COLLIER IS SO COMPLETELY CORRUPT.  HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.


It just goes to support that age-old adage: Those who can, do; Those who can't, teach; and those who can neither do nor teach, go to "work" in the Medina County courts!
