I had a contempt hearing for violation of a clause within my custody order against the mother of my 17 year old son. I has screenshots as evidence of the open and willing actions of the other party for contempt. Hope Tipton was a Magistrate that we appeared before and she was the most bias and rude person I have come across in my experience dealing with the Baltimore City circuit court system. She treated me as if I was the defendant and a Criminal! She displayed unnecessary attitude and disrespect that wasn’t even warranted and showed pleasantry and patience to the defendant and proceeded to rush me along and be dismissive of anything I had to say. She tried to not look at clear evidence I presented until the court assistant had to point out whatbot clearly showed as to prove my case. If I didn’t have that proof, I’m sure She would’ve just completely dismissed my case and not have found my son’s mother in contempt, it was clear as day and she didn’t have a choice at that point. Clear case of bias and tried to criminalize me when I was the one presenting the complaint. I discovered the new Governor Wes Moore apponlinted her from a Family Court Magistrate to a Judge under the Circuit Court Criminal division, BIG MISTAKE in his first term as Governor, I feel sorry for any black man, any man period that had to go before her in a Criminal trial, I’m sure he will be put away expeditiously and forever dealing with her!
