I doubt any judge with half a brain will allow a verdict to be influenced by something like admiration of a short skirt. Verdicts are written, form precedents, usually get appealed and more importantly, get reviewed. Riaga Amolo was declared unfit becausenof dubious rulings. A successful appeal reflects badly on the lower judge, as reprimands on Ang'awa by the Court of Appeal benches show. Perhaps such things allow them to bend court proedures to a leniency that probably isnt possible if it was an old maid in a dull frock arguing a case. Affecting the fundamentals? Highly doubt.
