Well, there could be a bit of selection bias there. The people who were acquitted of criminal charges, who were awarded sole custody of their kids, and who won their small claims cases might have different views.
I agree! Speaking as someone who was acquitted, the judge was unbiased; it was the arresting officer that had a problem ;)
Seriously, though, humans seem to seek to assign blame for the stress and trouble in their life. I think anyone who has to deal with something as stressful as the legal system is probably going to look for people to blame, and I'd assume that judges get quite a lot of this blame from the losing parties.
