A new hope

There's been a lot of talk about how the new judges (both district and circuit) will be on criminal justice issues.  One of those judges, Roy Altman, is already distinguishing himself as independent, smart, and not just another government rubber-stamp.  Here's his latest order (which demonstrates those qualities), dismissing a hung count after trial.

    Very sad. Reminds me of the way Judges King and Roettger used to exclude the government's evidence and then blame the government for not having enough evidence to support the charges.

    Looks better than Luke. More of a Hans Solo, but smart as Princess Leah.

    @1150 - 2 of the 7 in the majority took senior status. Lagoa and Luck may (or may not) have a different view.
