My question, why is a judge (apparently newly appointed) whose experience is in environmental and civil law sitting on a criminal case?  WHAT was he thinking when he decided that it was OK to treat the victim the same way to accuser was being treated?  Whatever happened to good judgement (pun intended here too), commonsense, and basic human decency, empathy for the victim.  Should we just be grateful he didnt ask why she didnt 'just keep her legs crossed'? SMDH.
