Now you know why they don’t allow cameras in the federal courts.

They don’t want everybody finding out just how corrupt the judicial system is, top to bottom. If people could watch more of these high-profile trials, or even just stream the audio online as they’re driving around, do you know how outraged they’d become?

About as outraged as the voters in Norfolk County are after watching the attempted lynching of Karen Read.

Judge Beverly Cannone’s appalling conduct was almost beyond parody, her prejudices so out in the open, her determination to protect her beloved hackerama so obvious.

On Wednesday night, after the verdict, Opinion Diagnostics did a quick poll of registered voters in Norfolk County. Only 18 percent of the respondents approved of Judge Auntie Bev’s conduct in the case.

Eighteen percent — that must represent how many people in the sample didn’t watch a second of the trial, because if they had, they’d be as disgusted as the other 82 percent about how desperately the hacks were trying to frame an innocent woman, to protect themselves and their vile fellow payroll patriots.

The day after the verdict, I asked Alan Jackson, the lead attorney for the defense, if he’d had any doubts about his ability to get a fair trial for his client.

“I was in enormous doubt,” he said. “Did I doubt whether I could get a fair trial? Just about every single minute of every single day.”

He mentioned how one of his witnesses, most likely Dr. Marie Russell, the very believable expert on dog bites, was almost prevented from telling the jury some very basic truths about the wounds on the victim’s arm.

“This is still shocking to me,” Jackson said. “Every question I asked was objected to by Hank Brennan, and 100 percent of his objections were sustained. I’ve never seen that in 30 years of practice. Literally, 49 objections and 49 sustained objections.”

That kind of gross miscarriage of justice never happens on Netflix, does it? But this is real life. In Norfolk County, at least.

“Talk about trying to keep the information from the jurors! I had to ask the questions 17 times in five different directions to get the information in front of the jury. I’ve never had a situation where the judge sustained every single objection by the prosecution. Statistically, that’s impossible.”

Except in a Norfolk County courtroom.

“I did not feel this was an impartial judge,” he continued. “I just didn’t. I don’t think anybody who was watching would argue with that. This was the most challenging case I’ve ever tried in my life. We didn’t win because of the process. We won despite the process that was put in place in that Dedham courtroom. It was a travesty, an absolute travesty.”

Would Jackson want to say anything to the judge?

“Do better,” he said. “Don’t try to put your thumb on the scale. No judge should ever try to put your thumb on the scale.”

Except in Massachusetts. Here it’s SOP — standard operating procedure.

Because he lives in California and doesn’t practice much here, Jackson could afford to be more candid than local attorneys. But even he said, “I have to be careful…”

The problem is, if a lawyer publicly calls out a judge over their appalling conduct, the repercussions can be severe. You don’t even need to be a lawyer. When I was jammed up in a civil case involving a radio contract a few years back, I had the law on my side. But not the judges.

As one of the lawyers for my foes sneeringly told me, “You think any judge in Massachusetts is going to give you a fair shake after what you’ve written about them?”

Sad to say, he was right. This state sucks, what can I say?

In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls. As I always say, it’s not that all Massachusetts judges are corrupt. It’s just that 98% of them who give such a bad name to the other 2%.

And think what they can do to a practicing lawyer. Karen Read’s local attorney, David Yannetti, has to be even more prudent in his comments about this recent travesty of justice in Dedham.

As a different lawyer texted me Friday:

“If a Mass. atty. dared to complain of the outrageous antics of Judge Bev to the Judicial Conduct Commission, the attorney who complained would be blackballed by the entire state judiciary. Proven fact. That lawyer and law firm will no longer receive any type of favorable judgments and rulings and all cases will go against them for daring to expose judicial malfeasance. This is how the mob known as the Mass. judiciary gets to thrive and bastardize justice.

“P.S. Look for odd judicial rulings against Yannetti in any future state cases his firm has.”

I hope not. But one thing we know for sure: Nothing is going to happen to Auntie Bev. Hell, even Judge Shelley Joseph is not going to get more than a slap on the wrist for letting a career criminal illegal alien drug dealer out the back door of her court house. She didn’t miss a single paycheck. The taxpayers paid for her entire legal defense after she was indicted by the feds.

Joseph is the quintessential state judge — total political hack, a former member of the Democrat State Committee from Brookline. Talk about checking all the boxes…

It’s ironic, isn’t it, that a bunch of lawyers who were starving to death in private practice can scrape together enough cash to buy themselves judgeships (it’s legal to make “contributions” to politicians), and then get to ride roughshod over actual productive members of society who can support themselves.

It beats working. This is why so many judges are the children of judges, or related to politicians, or former state hacks of one sort or another. And behind that no-heavy-lifting $207,882 sinecure comes the pension.

Consider the chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, Kimberly Budd, a $232,101-a-year second-generation hack.

Here’s a recent headline about Budd:

“Chief Justice Kimberly Budd wants to repair trust in courts.”

Okay, here’s a suggestion for her — find some way to get rid of Judge Cannone. She’s beyond an embarrassment.

Or at least tell Auntie Bev to stop putting her thumb on the scale of justice, although from what we’ve seen over the past few weeks, she had a lot more than her thumb on the scale.

It’s the hackerama.
