Cynthia Batzer

Biography
Cynthia Batzer was a New York State judge. She presided over the case of the People of New York v. Frank Castle. Batzer visited Castle's hospital room to hold his arraignment, at which point, he pleaded Not Guilty.

Batzer went through a lengthy jury selection process, as there was no one in New York City, who didn't hold an opinion on Frank Castle. On the first day of opening testimony, District Attorney Samantha Reyes called in medical examiner Doctor Gregory Tepper. Tepper stammered during his testimony, but ultimately confided to the court that he had been forced to doctor the autopsy reports on Castle's family. Castle's attorney, Foggy Nelson, asked for a mistrial, but Batzer denied it.
