New Jersey Superior Court Judge Robert Reed may be socially a nice guy – for all I know, a good family man and a dog lover. In his courtroom however, he’s a jerk. Other terms – mostly unprintable – apply as well to a judge who would do what Reed did to multiple sclerosis victim John Wilson of Somerset County. Reed sent Wilson to prison for five years – and what hideous crime, you may ask, did Wilson commit? Was he a murderer? Did he sell state secrets to terrorists or nuclear material to Iran? Is he a rapist? No? None of the above?
