She refused to waive a juvenile, who had shot another juvenile, into circuit court to be tried as an adult, because the juvenile "made a mistake." She's in bed with the defense attorneys, particularly on this case. Legal Knowledge: Judge Buckner does not base her decisions on precedent or case law. She allows her own bias to influence her decisions. Fairness & Impartiality: She does not take into consideration the impact her actions have on victims. Communication: Her decisions are based on her own feelings, not statute, not case law. Judicial Temperament: She decides with feelings, not with law.
