If Judge Weiland is up for re-election to the court- get rid of her… Geez, she is directly responsible for half of the criminals running around this City. I know that if I was one, I would start asking for her court room…. You go to court, she asks if u are guilty , you say kinda and she says ok that sounds good– see ya later!!!
Why try them in a court of law? Our judges will slap them on the hands and tell them no more. See you a few months, bye bye
