WHITAKER SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAKNESS
“Power that preys on the weak and remains silent in the face of fear is like a shadow that grows long at sunset—casting darkness where light should be.”

In a recent session at Fulton County Court, Judge Paige Whitaker’s treatment of Kayla Bumpus has raised significant concerns. Judge Whitaker, who assumed responsibility for the YSL RICO case from Judge Ural Glanville, appears to be more focused on protecting Glanville’s reputation than addressing the case’s substantive issues.
Bullying is not a sign of strength – it’s not. Bullying means you’ve chosen a weak person to abuse because you’re afraid of the one that’s fueling your anger. Whitaker is angry at Glanville and Willis but she took it out on Bumpus.
Today, faced with the necessity of declaring a mistrial in the YSL case, Judge Whitaker instead directed her frustrations at Kayla Bumpus. This action is perceived as a deflection from the real issue: the need to confront Judge Glanville’s past actions. Unable to challenge her superior directly, Judge Whitaker seemingly chose to target Bumpus, an easier scapegoat.
Angry or disappointed in Glanville but unable to challenge him directly (as he is her superior), Judge Whitaker seemingly chose to target Bumpus, an easier scapegoat.
The YSL RICO case has reached a point where a mistrial seems inevitable. Judge Whitaker’s reluctance to accept this outcome stems from her desire not to be seen as failing to resolve the case. This situation mirrors the infamous Massachusetts drug chemist scandals in Amherst and Boston, where systemic failures led to prolonged injustices.
In Massachusetts, two chemists were at the center of a massive miscarriage of justice. One, driven by a desire for recognition, and the other, struggling with substance abuse, both falsified evidence for years. The state’s leadership, including the Governor and Mayors, resisted declaring a mistrial to avoid tarnishing Massachusetts’ reputation. Consequently, prosecutors concealed exculpatory evidence, leaving many innocent individuals imprisoned.
This pattern of prioritizing reputation over justice is now evident in Georgia. Judge Whitaker has avoided issuing subpoenas for communications involving Judge Glanville and Prosecutors Hylton and Love. Such evidence could have substantiated the need for a mistrial months ago, but revealing it would expose significant judicial and prosecutorial misconduct.
The parallels between these cases highlight a troubling trend where the pursuit of institutional reputation undermines the fundamental principles of justice. As legal professionals, it is crucial to scrutinize these actions and advocate for transparency and accountability within the judicial system.
Here are the Massachusetts and the Georgia cases so similar? Pride! And a middle aged white woman skewering a young black female lawyer was one damned ugly look.
And the guard, Mr. Long and Kayla Bumpus did not belong in the court room – being there made both of them witnesses.
