Fortunately, the female judge did not seem to have sustained any serious injuries. However, the judge’s seat is on a platform surrounded by a box-shaped frame, so it must have taken extraordinary physical strength and considerable hatred to have jumped in from the defendant’s seat below and held down the judge. Also, when I was watching a video of the trial on YouTube, I found something puzzling. The attitude of the middle-aged female judge who handed down the sentence was very arrogant and cruel. The defendant seemed to have pleaded not to be sent back to prison for a minor crime. Perhaps it was the judge’s attitude that made the defendant explode with emotion. The judge’s name was MARY KEY HOLTHUS, so I searched for English articles to find out. Then, I found a case law. Considering the background, it seems that MARY KEY HOLTHUS was not originally a judge, but had been working as a prosecutor for a long time. And when she expressed her desire to become a judge, she said, “After 27 years, I think I can now decide who needs to go to prison.” And now that she’s a judge, the victims are complaining about her rulings. It was a battle between parents, and Judge Holthus had no hesitation in sending the mother, Deborah Sena, to prison for 10 years to life.
“Deborah Sena came into our lives 17 years ago. Throughout our time together, she was the breadwinner for our family, the caregiver for our children, and a responsible, level-headed adult. She was our best protector and role model, and did everything she believed she could to protect us. She was ultimately the one who helped us escape from Christopher Sena (the father) and turned him over to the authorities… We are saddened and angry that you and your office are punishing our mother. We are saddened and angry that you are punishing us, the victims, and taking away our mother. You are not representing us and our interests. Stop saying you are. You are not! We beg you to do true justice. Please put Christopher Sena in prison for life. He is a danger to us and to society. Mr. Wolfson, please release our mothers. They have already been in prison for almost a year and a half as punishment for being abused by my father.
MARY KEY HOLTHUS used to say that she was protecting the interests of the victims, but that was not true. She was a cold-hearted person who felt superior and happy in being able to “judge who needs to go to prison.” In short, she was a “judge without love.” The Bible teaches that love is the most important standard of behavior, but whether it’s politics or the judiciary, we often see people without love taking leadership positions. The Book of Revelation, which describes the end of the world, says, “But I say to you, You have left your first love” (Revelation 2:4). It is unfortunate that even in modern churches, there are fewer believers who warmly and lovingly welcome those who are hurting to church, and there are more and more unloving people who come only to pray quietly and listen to sermons. The Epistle of James, which Luther is said to have disliked, says, “He who has no mercy will be judged without mercy” (James 2:13), and I really feel that love is important. This time, we talked about judgment without love. What do you think?
