Biden judicial nominee Maine Superior Court Justice Julia Lipez. Lipez is Biden’s nominee for the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals. During a March 2023 sentencing hearing, Lipez reduced Smith’s 12-year sentence to 6 years and praised him as a “good” person.

“People are complicated,” Lipez said during the hearing. “I have frankly been offered very little insight as to how or why this happened. What I can say is that this is a very tragic situation of a person who has a lot of good in him having done a very reprehensible thing”
