Retired Judge Leonard Townsend today was subing for another Circuit Court Judge and handling the arrainment of Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beaty.
Everyone in the courtroom expected the arraignment to be uneventful with a not guilty plea and a bond to be set. Instead Judge Townsend decided to change the bond rulings of 2 other Judges and told Kwame Kilpatrick he could travel anywhere he pleased.
Townsend made it clear that special rights not givin to the average person must be givin to Kilpatrick because he is the Mayor of Detroit.
Assistant Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey did a great job explaining why this sudden act was wrong, but Judge Townsend made it quite clear of his agenda and that the law didnt matter.
Judge Townsend warned the Prosecutor she was losing her composure and all I could think was the Judge was losing his mind.

Im a Emergency Medical Technician and in the last year I worked to pass a law to make it mandatory for all ambulances in the State of Michigan to carry Heart Defibrillators!!! In 2005 only around 20% of private ambulances carried them!!! Because I passed the law several organizations have me on a job black list and will not hire me!!! It doesnt matter because I recently became an EMT to save lives and by having Defibrillators on all ambulances many lives will be saved!!! In my spare time I also collect unusual antique stuff and I have a large Faygo collection dating back to 1921!!!
