I believe the old addage that what goes around comes around, and so it is in this case. Mrs. Alford showed no mercy therefore she received no mercy. Mrs. Alford talked in such a demeaning manner to people and she really must have allowed those pills to alter her memory--in other words she forgot where she came from. I had the dubious pleasure of being in her courtroom and I was outraged when I left. If I could have gone up to that bench and slapped her face I would have felt better. When she was removed from the bench I'm sure that left a "sting" to her face.
