Outcome of the recusal hearings

This in the story as printed by the DeSoto Times about the Judges hearing from Tuesday. I was surprised to learn that a motion can be squashed, but that is only one a many factual errors in the story. Maybe it is just me but I detect a little bias on the part of the Times.



Here is a link to the newspaper article about the hearing yesterday from the Desoto Appeal.

The funny thing is I was there for each of the witnesses that testified, but didnt get eh same impression the reporter is giving. One big important part left out from the Court administrators testimony was that the morning after the "bunk mate" comment, the attoreneys called the Judge to get him to hire them in in divorce. That changes the context just a bit doesn't it? There are other shadings to this that were left out of the story and some of the things have to be put into the context of the general lack of formality and over familiar way ths court system operates. Oh well.

a bit of triva - Randy Garner is "supposed" to be the basis for the Harry Rex charactor in John Grishams books. And yes this county is part of his fictious Ford/Clanton counties.
