Hey what is up with the ol judge in Coeur D"Alene? releases felon because of old Friend ship in the past. Are you guy's going to run an article on this?,These charges were two felonies with NO bond, and the man was released at 3am. Can anyone tell me where we are safe with Judges that we vote to protect and to obey the law themselves,and go against the law and make their own rules when it comes to their old buddies from the past NO one has the right to do this let alone a District Judge, shoot he's just as bad as the one that did the crime if you ask me
