A very notable point.

“You are a judge in a robe sittin’ on a bench,” Christensen told Hanson. “I cannot fathom the amount of courage it took for that young law student to rat you out (on behalf of) that 15-year-old student — or, rather, that alleged victim — who was looking for an arrest warrant.”
