Judge Robinson is one of the best judges we have...He is 9 times out of 10 always on time and expects the defendants in the courtroom to be respectful and attentive...Who cares if he owns another business or works a second job...I say good for him...he's expanding his horizon...Trust me there are other judges that need to be investigated besides him at least he shows up before 11am like one judge in particular...and most of us know who that is....

Who cares? We all do! We pay him to do his job of which he clearly doesn't respect at all by his actions of deciding to work at his own business instead of being a judge. And the whole thing of other judges covering for him should be illegal unless he cannot physically perform his job such as: he's ill, in the hospital, death in the family, and things along that way. Not double-booking like what he has done. The courts are already pretty booked and don't need these kinds od judges who are just slackers and careless.

If he wants to work at his business then he needs to step down and let somebody else be judge that's going to take it seriously and not as a joke like what he has done.

Now sure he might be a good judge over all in the court room, but when he just out right will not show up cause he's "got this better things to do" attitude like he's shown then he needs to go and possibly even serve prison time for not taking the job of being a judge serious as it should be taken.

I don't care if he has a second job...but I do care that it constantly makes him late or causes him to miss cases. If he's put others in jail for the same thing, how is he not a complete and utter hypocrite?
