And I think we have, which I have been, thoroughly disabused of this notion at this point, but I think we have this idea that judges are these sort of neutral parties that are going to make decisions based on legal precedent and the facts in front of them, and that's just not what happens.

I think particularly in family court situations where you're not dealing with the same level of evidence that's being presented, I have seen quite a lot of op from judges in these decisions and quite a lot of extremely colorful language about the nature of that, which, of course, is, you know, a judge's prerogative, I suppose.

It's a much less robust process. That often comes to a decision point before the criminal court follows through. So where are we now?
