prejudges
Condemns before hearing
Prejudges is the act of forming an opinion before having adequate information or experience.
To prejudge is to decide in advance, often unfairly: The jury prejudges no one.
Someone who prejudges a situation reaches conclusions prematurely: She prejudges every new employee as incompetent.
