Contraversial rulings
In 2007, she ruled that Charles A. Briggs, who purjured the "Briggs affidavit", was immune from prosecution, as were others who covered up his deception.
On April 27, 2015, she ruled that the DEA was not liable for damages they had incurred to other people's property (in this case, a truck owned by a Texas trucking company) that they had used without permission in a drug sting.[1]
Reputation
Rosenthal was selected as the trial judge of the year by the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists in 2000 and again in 2006.[2] She has received the Houston Bar Association’s highest bar-poll evaluation for judges three times — in 1999, 2005 and 2007.[3] In the 2007 poll, 80.5% of respondents rated her "outstanding" and 16.5% rated her "acceptable."[4]
