I actually think its a good idea to appoint more defense attorneys to the bench.

I mean, most judge appointments are solely former prosecutors, so I have to question how objective they can really be when they have never argued from the perspective of the accused.

In this case, it sounds like she was both a former prosecutor as well as a an expert defense attorney, so she might actually make a decent judge.

Walker should still be recalled though.
