A judge Unaware
This is the kind of story I can't write about. I become enraged.
I could as easily put a .45 caliber hollow point in Joseph Duncan's head, as I could torture him for weeks, months, and probably years on end, (Yes, I know, not very Christian of me.) Either way, at night, I'd sleep as well as a breast fed and burped baby.
And what the hell is wrong with Judge Thomas Schroeder setting bail $10,000 less than requested?
"Judge" (and I use that title loosely) Schroeder quotes:
But apparently, no one, including the absent-minded judge, bothered to ask where a sex offender came up with $15 Grand ASAP. Well, maybe $6,500 of if came from this guy: Richard Wacksman, a former doctor, who befriended Duncan, loaned him $6,500 before his April 2005 court appearance. Maybe law authorities should take a look at Dr. Wacksman's computer hard drive?
"Judge" Schroeder, I'm not familiar with your other legal rulings and decisions. They may be accurate, fair, and just. However, your gross negligence with Joseph Duncan is an absolute, qualified FAILURE.
You owe it to the Groene family to resign and step down from the bench. With as little thought and consideration as you set bail.

"Judge" (and I use that title loosely) Schroeder quotes:
"You hear so many of these, and apparently I did set the bail in this matter."
"Usually on a bail hearing you have limited information, and so you set it in an amount that you think is appropriate."

Wacksman told his neighbors that Duncan was a changed man, Nicholas said. "Obviously, he wasn't," Nicholas said.
Wacksman, who now lives in New Port Richey, Fla., did not immediately return phone messages left by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
