🚨 NEW Rogue Judge added to Bench Receipts: Eric C. Tostrud (U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, MN)
Added for: Dismissed federal DOJ challenge to Minnesotas sanctuary laws.
U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud just handed Minnesota sanctuary policies a massive shield, ruling the DOJ cannot force state and local police to cooperate with federal immigration law.
By invoking "anti-commandeering," he effectively blocked the federal government from challenging local sanctuary rules.
The states cannot just choose to not follow the law!
Off to the Eighth Circuit we go!
We keep the receipts.
@DoDeportations We need to build out a master list to send to the localities and see about getting these corrected.
Data is only useful when it is accurate. Departments should care about the citizens they serve and protect. Correct data is a key pillar in this.
Bench Receipts continues to grow. We now track 85 judges across 42 states with 282 cases documented. Accountability in the courts is essential. https://t.co/6A5T7NdYxF
@DoDeportations SO many data nerds like myself miss this very important aspect of this. Data is boring unless you like data. We have to do a better job of showing the masses how this data impacts their day-to-day lives.

Denied bond by DeKalb County Judges Vincent Crawford and Stacey K. Hydrick, Burnstine is finally back behind bars. But the question remains: why did the Fulton County Court under Judge Thomas A. Cox, Jr. allow a murder trial to sit in limbo for six years, enabling a dangerous felon to walk free and target Dr. Jena Salem?
The Jury found Burnstine not guilty on all accounts. How could the judge done anything differently and kept the case moving?
Well, under Georgia law, trial judges have the absolute discretion and authority to manage their dockets:
Deny Defense Continuances: Under O.C.G.A. § 17-8-22, the judge has sole discretion to deny repetitive motions for delay once a case is ready for trial.
Sever Co-Defendants: In co-defendant cases (like this one), if other suspects cause delays, the judge can sever the trials under O.C.G.A. § 17-8-4 to try Burnstine immediately.
Enforce Strict Scheduling Orders: The court can set hard, non-negotiable deadlines for discovery and pre-trial motions to keep cases moving.
Instead of keeping this dangerous, repeat offender's trial on schedule, the court allowed years of continuances to decay the State's case, with tragic consequences, for the Decatur community in 2026.
The Shocking Systemic Failure of Derrick Burnstine
How does a repeat offender with over 40 prior charges, who was indicted for murder, felony murder, and home invasion, end up free to commit a near-identical home invasion and throat-slitting of a medical resident just one year later?
While the jury returned the verdict based on the evidence before them, the court system failed the public. The case dragged on under Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas A. Cox, Jr. for nearly six years (indicted in April 2019, tried in January 2025).
A six-year delay is a death sentence for a criminal prosecution. In that time, witness memories fade, key testimonies are compromised, and physical evidence degrades. By repeatedly allowing continuances and docket delays, the court created the exact conditions needed for a 24-count murder prosecution to collapse.
Burnstine’s record of violent recidivism was well-known.
In 2007, he was prosecuted under Fulton County Judge Tom Campbell (Case: 07SC61816) for felony possession of an altered ID, pistol possession, and obstruction, resulting in a 10-year GDC prison term.
Even inside prison, he was convicted of Aggravated Assault in 2012.
Derrick Burnstine (40+ prior charges) cut the power & slit a woman’s throat in Jan 2026.
Just 1 year earlier, he was acquitted of a 2019 Murder & Home Invasion case (19SC166637) after Fulton County Judge Thomas A. Cox Jr. let the case drag on for 6 years, degrading the evidence, memories of witnesses and lose key timing for jurors.
The Jury said he was not guilty, but the judge let the case drag so long, who knows what was lost.
I can tell you, the 2019 case and the 2026 case are not exactly the same MO, but they are kissing cousins.
I dont want to thread jack, so Ill put the whole story up on my timeline here in a bit.

Shout out to @bluelivesmtr for the story of Gedeonson Hyacinthe.
We did some digging.
Here is the full timeline and the judges that enabled it.
The timeline of leniency began in Collier County (2005) when Hyacinthe was arrested as a Habitual Traffic Offender but escaped active jail time.
By 2013 (Case 13-CF-018117), he faced felony drug and resisting charges, but Courtroom 7-A steered him into probation.
Fast forward to July 2024 (Case 24-CF-014046): arrested for Cocaine Possession & Resisting.Instead of revoking probation, Lee County Judges Robert J. Branning and Ramiro Gonzalez kept him out on bonds as low as $1,500 while defense motions dragged the case out.
Months later (Case 24-CF-015302), Hyacinthe was charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
Despite this carrying a 3-year mandatory minimum, Judges Branning and Gonzalez granted endless continuances, keeping him on the streets into early 2025.
Because of these delays, Hyacinthe was free on April 14, 2025, when he allegedly gunned down a victim in Pine Manor.
Shockingly, after being questioned and released, he was arrested again on drug charges in June 2025, and a duty judge let him bond out for just $5,000.
It took 15 months after the homicide for State Attorney Amira D. Fox to secure a murder warrant. Hyacinthe was finally jailed on July 15, 2026.
The judges who repeatedly let Gedeonson Hyacinthe walk:
• Judge Robert J. Branning
• Judge Ramiro Gonzalez
These two judges owned Gedeonson Hyacinthe's cases (13-CF-018117, 24-CF-014046, and 24-CF-015302) for the long term. Under Florida law, they had the sole authority to:
1. Revoke his pretrial release when he committed new felonies (under FL Statute 903.0471).
2. Revoke his probation and sentence him to state prison rather than reinstating probation.
3. Deny defense continuances and force the serious "felon in possession of a firearm" charge to trial.
Both of these 20th Judicial Circuit judges are part of the problem. Releasing repeat armed felons back onto our streets is a danger to the public.
They must be held accountable.
When judges treat repeat felons with guns like first-time offenders, the public pays the price. #BenchReceipts
Bench Receipts did some digging on this tragic case.
29 arrests. 16 felony convictions. One brutal murder.
Gedeonson Hyacinthe allegedly shot a man in Fort Myers and livestreamed the aftermath on Facebook Live.
But the real outrage is the system that let him walk. Here is the docket trail of judicial failure. 🧵👇
Repeat violent offender Gedeonson Hyacinthe allegedly gunned down a man in Fort Myers and then broadcast the victim’s final moments on Facebook Live!!
Court records show he carried 29 prior arrests, including 16 felonies, across more than two decades. Despite that history, he was back on the street.
He now stands accused of executing a man and streaming the dying victim for the world to see.
This is the direct result of soft-on-crime policies and judges who keep releasing predators instead of protecting the public.
Enough is enough. Dangerous repeat offenders belong behind bars for good — not free to destroy more lives.
If the system won’t protect us, we need leaders who will. Lock them up and keep them locked up.
