Blood sugar affects mood. A person's decision-making can be affected by mood. Judges make decisions. Seems pretty common sense to me.

It may not change guilty/not-guilty verdicts but it's easy to believe that perhaps it would affect milder differences.

It’s also seems like it’d be commonsense for judges to know that and have meal and snack strategies to account for it. To determine what the real effect is then you need to establish it empirically and they haven’t.

If judgery is like any other field, they're overbooked and burnt out. I imagine it's like medicine. In other words, there is no room for a meal strategy.
