Judge screws up sentencing Charles Lynch

[Payaso]

Charles Lynch has suffered enough at the hands of the Feds. Now Judge Wu really screwed up in his sentencing orders. Seems the judge has a very poor memory regarding his own cases.

In the final sentencing of Lynch the Federal Court made numerous errors and typos to Lynch's detriment. First Judge Wu took over 10 months to write his final sentencing memo and on April 27, 2010 he finally released the memo. Click here to view the April 27, 2010 sentencing memo. NOTE: The final document is available below this one had errors in it.

The court ordered Lynch to appear on April 29, 2010 at Los Angeles Federal Court at 1:30 pm. During the hearing the Judge said he ordered the hearing to sentence Lynch. The judge was reminded that he had already sentenced Lynch on June 11, 2009. The Judge remembered and then continued on and then he said that we would discuss the defendants request for bail pending appeal. The Judge was again reminded that he had already granted Lynch bail pending appeal on June 11, 2009. Lynch is out on a $400,000 bail. The judge agreed and the hearing continued.

The prosecutor pointed out that the final sentencing memo had a mistake in the final judgment. The judge had written that Lynch was to be sentenced to 1 year and 1 day on all five counts, when in fact he had ordered at the June 11, 2009 sentencing that on three of the counts, Lynch had been sentenced to time served. The judge concurred and said he would fix the errors and reissue the Sentencing Memo and issue his Final Judgment and Commitment Order.

On April 29, 2010 the judge issued an edited version of the sentencing memo fixing the sentencing mistakes. Click here to read the April 29, 2010 Sentencing Memo. The Judge also issued the Final Judgment and Commitment Order on April 29, 2010. In the final judgment form it stated that Lynch had pleaded guilty. Lynch quickly notified his attorneys of the mistake and they contacted the court. The mistake was fixed on May 5, 2010.

Although Judge Wu made some serious mistakes during the final sentencing of Lynch he was lenient in the sentencing and made many statements in Lynch's favor.

He was definetly stoned if he couldnt even remember his own statements. If he wasnt he should be.

What an idiot judge. In my mind, Wu has other issues and it appears he is not longer capable of being a judge. How many times you gotta fuck up, and forget what you've already done? If this was someone bagging my food it would be one thing, but this is a judge that has the power to do at his will.

Yes interesting.

Was there a message? Was there some irony with the memory lapses? Was it a joke on stoners from a conservative point of view? Maybe it was just that Wu really didn't remember or maybe the new clone's memories didn't transfer so well?

That's an IGC joke..

he was probably trying to get it thrown out by making those mistakes because he agrees that it is wrong. If a court misspells something you can get away with the whole crime sometimes.
