Well, my response really was about the Southern District. New York City courts are very different. The judges are at times ridiculously lenient and biased towards defense attorneys there. Where there is bias favoring the prosecution, it's a matter of culture, I think. Prosecutors are free to stroll around back offices. Defense lawyers are not allowed unless invited. The guards know them. They hang out with the judges in chambers. They eat lunch together. They all get paid by Uncle Sam. It's a matter of human nature. You will favor your friends, even if you try not to.
