The judges are going to be the deciders of whether that evidence is scientifically reliable or not, so it is important for us to have a basic understanding of how these tools work. We are generally prohibited from doing independent research into these kinds of evidentiary issues. It’s good to have a solid foundation, but ultimately, it’s going to come down to the evidence that’s presented in any given case. Are there better ways of doing it, or better ways of managing those cases to determine what’s likely to go to trial and what’s not?

Ultimately, if there was going to be a change that was made, that would require some logistics, and so you want to make sure that if there was going to be a change made, that you have something that’s set up — and that may take time to accomplish. But, I’m definitely open to hearing from other businesses or service providers who would be willing to provide those monitoring services at a reduced rate to defendants and the county.

Absolutely, and I will be in communication with the prosecutor’s office and the public defender’s office. I’ve had some of those conversations already about ways that we can accomplish this. I’ve been on the bench for the last five years, and I’m already accustomed to making sure that I listen to people. I think it’s very important for judicial officers not to get ahead of themselves. In a legal case, you have to take the time to actually listen to what people have to say and make an informed decision based on the law and the facts that are before you.
