Judicial Incompetence

Incompetence is not just for prosecutors in SW Ohio.

Here's the piece as the Enquirer reports it

Suspended Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman will remain on probation for a drunken driving conviction, but Hamilton County Municipal Judge John Burlew today dismissed a probation violation.

During the hearing Burlew reminded Thurman to “walk the line.”

“It’s between you and (your probation officer) whether you see my ugly face again,” Burlew said. “I hope you don’t.”

So why bother putting probation on anyone's sentence if you are not going to do anything when they break the probation?

Oh, I'm sorry Burlew told Thurman he is still on probation.... It must be "double secret probation".
