Reviews of the Xenia Municipal Court
Judge favors his old school buddies giving them too much slack and does so over and over. When someone appears before him every month on the same type charge and he merely taps the person's fingers they will laugh and keep doing the same thing. I know this to be a fact. Smh. This is why our system is failing and community is going to hell in a hand basket.
Clerk that answered the phone was extremely rude and we had to insist just for him to do his simple job. The guy was obnoxious and childish. If he does not like his profession perhaps he should resign and allow someone to work that wants to be at work. Very poor demeanor and an attitude that refuses to help others. A formal complaint will Be drafted and submitted.
This court is a fine example of a crooked, revenue generating system. Judge Ronald C. Lewis was giving everyone $100 fines regardless of their citation and driving record. $100 fine for no seatbelt and honorable Ronald himself Zoom video called the court while driving with no seatbelt on... He had to pull over and call us back because the audio was bad. They're pushing people through there like cattle and wasting our time and money during a pandemic. This is just further proof of an evil and broken system.
Seems like a pattern here. The courtroom that Judge Beth Cappelli holds is quite the theatre. My daughter was in court today and felf that she was bullied and rushed to plead guilty to her first traffic violation. She was not given an option for supervisorn which is what she asked for. The introductory video they show to patrons is laced with legal jargon that is confusing to first time offenders (and the first time she has ever been in a court room). . .. . no mercy and definately bullied and rushed.
No one enjoys or likes going to court. Clearly, if you have to be there it's typically not because you want to be. But, I want to say, the video of Judge Murry in the beginning of the court if extremely informative. A lot of thought and work went into that video. If you have to go to Municipal Court for any reason, it's worth watching and learning from. The information is invaluable.
