I find that some people are intimidated by judges and are sometimes afraid to talk to them. Don't be, I for one would be happy to try to answer your questions.

This program is effective and strictly monitored. Once again this service does not cost the taxpayers a dime, it is 10 dollars to the offender.

This happens fairly often. I have no control over whether or not I am disqualified but in the event that I am Judge Sharp assigns another judge to hear the case.

No tax dollars are used for these services.

I consider a number of things in determining what I feel is an appropriate punishment in a particular case. In every case I look at whether or not the defendant has a history of trouble and the nature of the charge.
