Re: “Opinion: Judge Rainville’s Soft Racism”

It's interesting that, apparently, Ms. Levine hasn't spent a lot of time in courtrooms. That type of exchange between the judge and public defender is routine among defendants of all races, as other commenters have noted. What I find interesting though is that Ms. Levine doesn't seem to realize that criminal law is typically far more focused on deeds and facts than intentions and motives. Ironic then that she sees fit to judge Mr. Collins's and the judge's motivations. What was her intent and through what subjective measure did she use? I won't guess.

Re: “'Incoherent' Rifle-Wielding Man Posed Dilemma for Police”

This incident is particularly good example of how hard some of these issues are. I feel for police and mental health officials on this one.
