It was the judge's first case and it should be...his last.

Here

He should be removed and disbarred.

Something doesn't make sense here.

A Georgia Court of Appeals judge has ordered a new trial for a man convicted of rape because he doesn't believe that the victim in the case "behave[d] like a victim."

Appellate courts are the intermediate courts, operating on 3 judge panels. I've never heard of a single appellate judge deciding anything. Had to be two of them.

"McFadden presided over the Fayette rape trial instead of a local Superior Court judge, the first time the jurist had ever wielded the gavel in a criminal jury trial. He reportedly had experience in civil court actions before winning a spot on the state’s second highest court."

If you follow the link it has this lovely bit of judgement

“At no time prior to her outcry ... did (the victim) behave like a victim,” McFadden wrote. “Nor did Mr. Dumas behave like someone who had recently perpetrated a series of violent crimes against her. ... It requires more than that bald argument to satisfy this court that it should ignore the fact that, until the outcry, neither of them showed any fear, guilt or inclination to retreat to a place of safety.”

WTF??? Really

I was trying to figure out what seemed familiar about this, and then it hit me...
