I didn’t know that the corrupt racist judge in the #Afroman case made Afroman pay half the court costs.

#Attorney #legal ppl, is that the kind of thing that can be appealed?
Judge is talking to jurors without attorneys present and making disparaging comments abt the defendant who prevailed.

The judge’s comments to the jurors was out of line. #legal

These arborists just saved a family’s house from getting crunched by a huge tree, and the MFing home owner cheated the guys out of $200 on the total fee.

That MFing home owner will know no peace.

You have to watch this video.
