The judge was appointed by a staunch Conservative Repub.
How is the judge a "crazy liberal"?
She was elected in 2012 and 2016.The Latest: Compound defendants to be released pending trial
A state judge has denied a request by prosecutors to keep in jail the two men and three women who were arrested during a raid at a New Mexico compound as they await trial on child abuse charges.
The decision came Monday evening after a lengthy hearing in Taos during which prosecutors said the five defendants were preparing for a dangerous anti-government mission.
They presented evidence of the firearms training done by Siraj Ibn Wahhaj (see-DAHJ' wah-HAJ') and described a compound fortified by old tires and wooden pallets.
Judge Sarah Backus said although she was concerned by "troubling facts," prosecutors failed to articulate any specific threats to the community.
She set a $20,000 bond for each and ordered that they wear ankle monitors and have weekly contact with their attorneys.
The judge, Sarah Backus, was appointed by a Repub governor.
Sarah Backus is a district court judge in the Eighth Judicial District of New Mexico. She was appointed to the court by Governor Susana Martinez on June 17, 2011, and elected in 2012.[2] She was retained in 2014 for a term that expires on December 31, 2020.
She was elected twice in a state in which Hillary got less than 30% of the vote after being appointed by a conservative governor.
How can anyone claim she is a "liberal judge"?
How about we call her an Islamic sympathizer judge?
