She’s got a soft spot for suspects headed for hard time, critics charge. Lefty Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Janice Robinson has repeatedly cut accused criminals loose with no or minimal bail, including in attempted-murder cases — refusing to side with prosecutors’ recommendations in those instances even once, a damning review by The Post has found. Since recently moving over from the civil bench, Robinson, the niece of a longtime Democrat state lawmaker, has consistently gone easy on many defendants, according to an examination of more than a dozen of her criminal cases.
