I have little sympathy for any of them. there is no excuse to run from cops. it would be nice to see a charge of "running from police" come with a five year sentance. or if you run from the cops you should be shot on sight :-) |

If so, great, if not, why not? |

IMHO a judge should have both the brains and the balls to make the hard calls, problem is most often they dont. there is a fear of being wrong, and it stops judges from doing whats needed. |

You hit the nail on the head. IMO the minister of justice should just sack any judges that show weakness. |
