Judges these days are more criminal than the crooks themselves

Superior Court judge Howard Chisvin needs to be enrolled in an anger management class. Is this the kind of behaviour we expect from the justice system? Why are we hearing of more and more Canadian judges acting like they are on crack or worse? 

....Superior Court judge Howard Chisvin acted illegally and abused his authority when he freed a slate of accused criminals last summer because an assistant Crown attorney was as few minutes tardy returning from a break, Ontario’s top court has ruled.

“The trial judge’s actions were highhanded and did a real disservice to the proper administration of justice” the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in a decision released Monday.

The strong rebuke comes after Chisvin decided in the summer to free a dozen people awaiting prosecution or sentencing in his court in Newmarket.

Some of the people set free had already pleaded guilty to crimes and were awaiting sentencing.

“It is clear that the trial judge had no power to make the order that he purported to make” the decision by Justices Doherty, Lang and Epstein states. “It was illegal and abuse of judicial authority. Furthermore even if the power existed there was no basis upon which to make the order of the facts of the case.”
