text: do you believe our court judges are experienced enough to be deciding the fate of our nations accused? i'm interested to learn if anyone thinks our court judges have the necessary tools-experience,phsychological training to be able to totally understand situations,crimes,poverty,drug use etc that all determine our crime rates and accused? judges aren't social workers.  they function to ensure a fair and speedy trial either by jury or panel.  their main requirements are to be trained in the law and to be impartial.
