That's a good question. I don't think an appeal would be successful, but they get filed anyway - Mr King sounded pretty certain that they wouldn't file one - maybe his client said not to?
And thank you Zoey, for posting those links to alternate views of the courtroom - I had no idea what the judge looked like. Much appreciated.

I agree - he is almost scarier now, than he was with the orange hair, he seems completely removed from the proceedings. Disturbing on every level, IMO.
That said, I admire Judge Samour more every time he speaks. He takes the time to explain all of his comments and decisions. He really seems to care about the feelings of everyone in his courtroom - what judge takes the time to do that? He seems like a very kind man, IMO

I love listening to this judge. I wonder if we will ever see him preside over another trial.

The felon may serve his sentence in a different state? Does that mean California....easier for his parents? I am not sure about that first question I posted. Who makes the decision where he serves his sentence? This Judge or who?
