Judge Michael: Obus

Own Security Dept: The judge said that with a straight face, looking at a defendant who'd been forced to resign from his job heading the International Monetary Fund, and whose political career he was until May 14 considered a strong candidate for the presidency of France lies in ashes, according to CBC. "I want to remind all of you," he said, "that at each appearance in the last six weeks, we asked you and we asked the world not to rush to judgment in this case, and now I think you can understand why." As he refunded Dominique Strauss-Kahn's multimillion-dollar bail bond, and freed him from having to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet, and lifted his house arrest, and relieved him from the necessity of paying for his own security guards, Judge Michael J. Obus remarked that "there will be no rush to judgment in this case." Outside the court, Strauss-Kahn's lawyer looked at the pack of reporters and made just that point. As reported in the news.
