In response to: Terri Green running for the 380th District Court

Just Looking, Not buying GREEN [Visitor]
Not judge material, any way you slice it! Why are so many cases involving Terri Green as a defendant, or cases involving her children, SEALED or EXPUNGED?
Texas voters need to know the answers to these questions before they plan to vote for her; Those of you supporting Terri Green, might want to ask Terri Green about this too; the truth about Terri Green will eventually come out. What happened on December 5, 2001 in Tomball, Texas Terri? There's a new wiki page out there called
TerriGreen-NotAsJudge, at wikispaces.com Check it out!

In response to: Appeals court overturns Collin capital conviction

Guilty after all [Visitor]
It looks like she was found guilty AGAIN after all. I am no one to judge, but finding her guilty twice of capital murder is good enough for me. Sad situation for all involved.

In response to: Not Judge Rusch's first controversial warrant

Luther [Visitor]
The posts here support what this newly re-elected judge just did to a good, law abiding family, with members who fought to defend America in every major war since the American Revolution! He denied a TRO request in their personal war - fighting to keep their home against mortgage company who is guilty of multiple violations of this family's rights. The family's attorney, possessing strong evidence morgtage company likely foreclosed without legal right and violated federal TILA, RESPA, Chapter 7 (to name a few) statutes, requested a TRO in order to buy time to gain this family's constitutional right to have their case properly heard in court. Rusch denied the TRO with extreme condescending demeanor, absolutely refusing to hear any explanations - eschewing the request and allowing the family to be evicted while rewarding the mortgage company for violating any point of law they choose... not to mention himself denying a fundamental constitutional right! With judges like this eschewing these cases all over the country, where is "due justice"?

In response to: BARNETT WALKER, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COURT AT LAW #2 IN COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

Michael Biggs [Visitor]
Honesty has been lacking in this campaign. Recently my cousin mentioned he had been working on a criminal case with Sharon Ramage. The case went to trial in Collin County and Sharon had done well enough for my cousin to mention her work. I was more than a little surprised to find a mailer in my mailbox the very same day claiming she was a liar and did not even practice criminal law in Collin County.

I have verified the information and it is not Sharon Ramage who is a liar.

In response to: BARNETT WALKER, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COURT AT LAW #2 IN COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

Vote For Barnett [Visitor]
Barnett Walker is an honest, honorable man with incredible talent, intelligence and an unshakable character.

He is an actual American hero and stands for doing what is right, the letter and spirit of the law regardless of politics or who is involved, be it we "ordinary citizens" or our public servants.

He would bring a badly needed breath of fresh air into the "justice" system of Collin County.

In response to: Criminal investigation looks for stolen money in JP Court

Ed Cage [Visitor]
I didn't think I'd get an explanation to my question on 3/31/12. FACT: Judge Lewis and his Court were bonded/insured. It is the perpetrator who must reimburse missing or stolen funds. The Judge of that same court is **NOT** obligated to do so as was erroneously quoted above. Although he is an unusually dishonest judge, JP Judge Johnny Lewis was not responsible. FACT: Court Administrator Misty Beaty was the only person seriously investigated and interrogated. Lewis had his wife reimburse the missing funds (even though they were bonded/insured!!). …And now the case is very conveniently marked "Case Closed" by the PPD.

Do you think that some people won't leave their name when commenting about Green because they know
she holds grudges if she doesn't get her way. Green lacks the experience to fill this position and will never bring the respect needed for the courtroom. Go Jody! You've got it all.

In response to: Judge Greg Brewer resigns from bench

witness in courtroom of Brewer [Visitor]
I would like to call BS on "Visitor" above about school teacher case. You must not have read the transcript very closely. She NEVER spent the night with boyfriend with kids. Never happened. She was seeing someone while she was separated, but NEVER spent the night with the kids. I was in that courtroom. I could NOT believe what transpired before my eyes. And the piercing was brought up not only while she was on the stand, but also as a closing argument of why she should not have custody. The home study evaluator actually recommended 50/50, NOT dad to have custody and child support. Maybe you should have been there. This girl got NOTHING. Stay at home mom? Really? None of us in the audience could believe the judges decision. It made absolutely no sense.

Concerned Citizen [Visitor]
He's still doing it, and getting by with it. I recently witnessed his form of justice first hand. I am not from there, but his decision very much effected someone I care deeply about. It was so obvioulsy biased and wrong that I'm still in shock about his decision. If I were from there I would do everything to get him voted out of office, and the people from there should do that very thing.

In response to: Wooten Guilty! (Updated and extended)

In 2010; Judge Lewis also removed David Haynes attorney's testimony of the "DA's renigging on a 1999 plea agreement". Judge Lewis and Judge Nathan White should be investigated on their involvement in Steven Mark Olschwanger and several attorney's criminal enterprise tied to drug money launder, Amy Ralston Pofahl's money laundering enterprise schemes from 1994 to 2011 tied to FBI agents, law enforcement agents, and others. There's no such thing as justice anymore because there is far too much corruption within the courts and by attorney's covering up for other corrupt attorney's criminal acts.

In response to: Wooten Guilty! (Updated and extended)

What can citizens do about corrupt judges and "the corrupt good old boy network of the corrupt American Justice System"? the biggest organized crime group are "attorney's, judges, law enforcement and while citizens are allowed to hire an attorney or even told they have to hire an attorney to report criminal acts; the reality is that attorney's don'twork for their clients; they work for the Judges; and whenever attorney's, judges and law enforcement are involved in criminal enterprises; then, the FBI nor any other government agency does anything about it because they all work together or need the Judges. So, you said that "the citizens are letting this corrupt happen." I disagree. Citizens have no rights when it comes to trying to expose "the game of the corrupt american justice system because the FBI, and all other government agencies prevent citizens from even reporting such corrupt Judges, attorney's, and law enforcement agents". tell us; what can citizens do. Even the media writes about whats' of court records but it's Judges and attorney's who falsify court documents or other public records. that prevents the media from reporting the truth when the media chooses to report what's of public record without mentioning the fact that too often "what's of public record is often times fraud by attorney's, judges and others with the power and control of what's made of public records".

Re: "According to state law, Judge Lewis is personally responsible for all money entrusted to his court. If the funds are not recovered he will have to repay the county out of his own pocket."
.
What state law are you quoting here? Judge Lewis was bonded/insured. the perpetrator must reimburse missing or stolen funds. The Judge of that same court is not obligated to do so and Lewis was not responsible.

In response to: A Texas Bar Card – Don't Leave Home Without It

Travis T. [Visitor]
Mr. Reynolds took the stand in a contempt hearing over his failure to pay child support and testified that he had surgery on his penis which rendered him impotent and that, due to his impotence, he could not pay any child support for his three children. Obviously, this is a man for whom no “defense” is too humiliating.
But, the newspaper need not worry too much about Reynolds’ threats. He’s just a big overgrown bully who enjoys threatening people whether it be verbally or, in this case, with a gun for which he has no permit. And, just like his false claims above regarding various public officials, Reynolds' rendition of what happened at Hendricks Middle School has, as the paper has so aptly pointed out, no credence.
Perhaps if the criminal court judge had known that Reynolds tested positive for habitual daily cocaine use just a few days after he pulled the gun at Hendricks Middle School, the criminal case might have turned out differently. At the very least, it partially explains his paranoia, aggressiveness, and grandiosity. Contrary to Reynolds’ assertions, no one chased Reynolds down or "attacked" him. No one said they were going to kick his ass. Reynolds followed the victim in his car, parked behind the victim's vehicle, and, with no provocation whatsoever, pulled a 9 millimeter pistol in the middle of the Hendricks Middle School parking lot, loaded a bullet into the chamber, and aimed the gun at the victim's head and in the direction of a family there to attend a 6th grade girls basketball game. The victim's 17 month old baby was in Reynolds' line of fire. The victim stood his ground to prevent a coked up sociopath who hasn't had a job in 20 years, lives off of his aging parents, and refuses to pay any child support for his three children, from killing his infant daughter.
Notably, every single family court judge who heard the facts (and there were plenty since several recused themselves seemingly because they were afraid of Reynolds) concluded that Mr. Reynolds committed family violence by pulling the gun that day and that he was likely to do so again in the future. Not one of the Dallas judges believed Reynolds' fabricated self defense claim. The family court entered a 4 year Protective Order against Reynolds to protect the victim in this case and his entire family from Reynolds and ordered Reynolds to pay the victim's attorney's fees incurred in seeking that order (which, not surprisingly, Reynolds hasn't done). The protective order is still in effect to this day.
The family court also ordered that the children Reynolds claims he was trying to protect should continue to live with the victim in this case, who is their step-father (and they still do to this day), and that all of Reynolds' claims about the victim being dangerous, etc. -- including his ludicrous claim that the victim "attacked" him -- are false.
Anyone who wants to know the facts (as opposed to the lies Reynolds spouts here and that he and his Redneck momma made up for the criminal trial), should get the police report, including all the statements given at the scene. Reynolds and his momma and grandma all gave statements. Not one of them said the victim said he was going to kick Reynolds' ass or that the victim attacked Reynolds or "chased him down." Why? Because it didn't happen.
Reynolds, who is 6'5" tall, weighs 240 pounds (and outweighs the victim by 70 pounds), told Judge Wheless a pack of lies about what happened that day. He also said he was "fearful" of guns (which is not just a lie but a total joke) and "fearful" of the victim (who is black, but, thankfully was not wearing a hoodie). Judge Wheless obviously believed that Reynolds is such a coward that he needed to pull a loaded gun at a middle school because there was an unarmed black man there with his wife and baby to watch a basketball game. However, the court’s ruling no more exonerated Reynolds for his crime than O.J. Simpson was exonerated for killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

In response to: CodeRED: better late than never - or is it?

Jim [Visitor]
Not a failure ADizzle. If you knew anything about the nature of high-speed telephony you'd realize that only so many messages can get through based on local inbound telco network capacity which is variable in every community nationwide. Only so many people can be contacted so quickly. This service is just one of many tools that a public safety agency can use to proactively notify residents. No one service is the silver bullet.

“God is never late, but He is never early.” This means that God will come in with the breakthrough on His time schedule – not ours!

Thank you Scott-God showed Himself through you today. The end result was divorce. But, truth and sound judgment prevailed in your courts today.
