In court Tuesday, Judge James Brady went on the record about his own relationship with the defendant.
“I do know the defendant. I’ve known him for about 18 years,” Brady said. “I was the hockey president for three years for the high school hockey team, my son played there, my nephew played there on another high school team he was affiliated with. The defendant has actually taken stitches out of my face from a puck at his house.”
