Judge

Judge

A judge is the person who sits at the head of the court. The judge is like an umpire in a game and conducts the trial impartially and in an open court. The judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the parties of the case, assesses the credibility of the parties, and then issues a ruling on the matter at hand based on his or her interpretation of the law and his or her own personal judgement.

This video grab shows the two French lawyers acting for the accused allies of Rwandan President, Leon Lef Forster (L) and Bernard Maingain, giving a press conference in Paris on January 11, 2012. Bernard Maingain said Wednesday his clients were considering lodging a lawsuit that would accuse several persons of fraud relating to the investigation. The change in course of a French judicial probe into the downing of late Rwandan leader Juvenal Habyarimana's jet could help a troubled Paris come to terms with its role in the 1994 genocide. And if, as now seems likely, French magistrates drop charges against allies of Rwanda's current leader, President Paul Kagame, it could accelerate a thaw in the once icy relations between France and Rwanda. Experts hired by a French judge investigating the murders of Habyarimana and the passengers and crew of his jet have concluded the missile which destroyed the plane was fired from a base controlled by his own forces.
