Prosecutors and Judges typically develop personal relationships with a lot of police officers. Police officers often have to testify at trials and judges see some of them over and over.

I really don't know how to get around that fact, it is human nature to put more trust in someone that you know, or think you know, and there is an urge to not believe something they have done is horrid.

That the judge decided the sentence, she did not, it was the jury.

Then the judge hugged all the family members. For all we know Bothams mother asked her to hug Guyger. I've never seen anything like it but Botham Jean's family is a cut above the rest
