Upon reading the article regarding Mark Martin, I was frankly stunned at his brashness and lack of objectivity while sitting on the bench. Not only did he fail to properly try this particular case but he also, very clearly, states HIS position on it and why HE, as a Muslim, understands why a fellow muslim did what he did. Without knowing a single thing about this case, hearing what the ""judge"" said, I would immediately understand this judge was extremely biased and clearly pushing an agenda.
I truly hope the people of Mechanicsburg, and Pennsylvania, have the backbone to not stand by idly and ensure Mr. Martin is removed from his position of power. For the record, I would have the same exact opinion on this if it were a Jewish, Christian, Hindi, etc judge who used their faith as a reasoning for their supposedly impartial rendering of the law.
