Today, at court,
the judge said the easiest hearing
to preside over is a murder arraignment,
the hardest, a parking trial.

Interesting. Can you say more about what the judge meant? Is it because the consequences of a bad judgement are worse in the former than the latter case?

People go to trial on parking tickets?

The judge said a murder arraignment is a very predictable event. The parties know what the process is and what to expect.
With parking cites, the person ticketed rarely speaks to the officer issuing the citation and usually have never been to court. Many people cited feel strongly that they do not deserve the citation and can be less than pleasant at court.

@PPG,
People don't think parking rules apply to them.
"I only ran into the store for a minute."
" I could find another place to park."

I didn't even realize one *could* go to court on a parking ticket! Here, they're not generally expensive enough to be worth that anyway. I know people who find it cheaper to pay the parking ticket than pay the garage parking. (There's a policy, it's rumored, in the City of Hartford that they want to force people to use the garages because the owners are complaining no one parks there - and the force them by orange-bagging the meters.)
