I think racial profiling is wrong. It cannot be defended. It's just flat wrong. And if a matter came before me, and it could be established that the arrest was made strictly on racial profiling, when I was on the bench, it would be gone.

Well, I - all cases to me have interest. Every case is important to somebody, the people litigating that case. But the most difficult case for me is the case where one person says a, the other person says b, and you just don't know for certain who is not telling you the truth.

I have great faith in the jury system.

Every unfortunate event does not give rise to lawsuit.

I think, unfortunately, some people are just bad, they're just born bad, and I don't know why.

I think most folks are good folks.

We must focus on people as people, regardless of race, creed, color or gender.

And some people, you've got to lock up. If you don't, they're going to hurt you.
