And then the judge was also not the judge you wanted to draw. His name was Irving Kaufman and he was known for hating communists and he used his bench to essentially punish them as harshly as he possibly could. He was the kind of judge who would actually add 10 years onto whatever sentence the DOJ was asking for in trials of communist spies. He was that kind of judge, and that's who they drew.
