Look at the judges expression when the DA fires back!!!

Its a shame when the judge ignores the statute and takes actions that are illegal, thus giving the defendant further grounds for appeal. Kinda stupid, really.

It's Paris. The judicial system there is a joke.

What the judge did or didn't do at that hearing has absolutely no effect on his appeal. It appears the judge wasn't very versed on how to handle that type of post-conviction hearing. It was almost like he got confused and thought it was an arraignment hearing where a bond can be set. It's not uncommon for judges in small towns to make mistakes on procedural issues like that. Lord only knows when the last time was that he had a hearing like that or if he'd ever had one before. Trust me...I've had to educate a few small town judges over the years.
