Either the judge took a bribe or they don’t cares about the truth they only care about which side has the most money which I why it think the judge’s were bribed I asked for a court ordered lie detector test cuz I caught the apposing part in a lie and the judge refused my request and chose the other party over my defense even though in California the accusing party has failed in the same matter 3 times in California so is the judge stupid or receiving bribes? According to the last judge in order to get a court appointed lie detector test done we need a lawyer to do so we can’t ask for that we have to pay for that even though I’m pretty sure that should be covered under som type of law constitutional or not
