Madison peeps: Stacey for Justice Court

[FlabLoser]

This is possibly the 1st political post acceptable on SPS.

Click now, thank me later. Hottie lawyer (from THE Mississippi College) running for judge. 1) We could use more hotties pretty much everywhere. 2) lawyers are a necessity and this one hails from MC instead of UM.

for the Madison County Prosecutor.

I'm trying to think if it's possible for her to be less qualified for the job and still able to run.

Several have not even had a basic law class in community college. I don't know if that Justice Court Judge is still in Monroe County that I went before for a speeding ticket... but that moron didn't know what the Best Evidence Rule (announced it in front of the court when I tried to use it) was and he openly told the court that "I don't think a court of appeals decision in Ohio can be used in a Justice court in Mississippi."<div>
</div><div>He was just a puppet to collect money for the county. Had the Trooper admit he lost sight of the car he clocked for four miles at night and in the rain and that there was significant traffic on the road that night. He also didn't have any records of maintenece of the radar and any certification of training on the radar. He came to court with his hat and his ego and that was it.</div><div>
</div><div>I got hung on the ticket because the trooper said the could tell a car by his tail lights, at night, in the rain, while travelling the opposite direction, could positively identify that car after losing sight of it for four miles after passing 50 other cars in post game traffic. Judge said that " I have to go with the word of the Trooper."</div><div>
</div><div>I don't know what district that is in south Monroe county where 45 goes through, But if you elect that moron for more terms on the bench... you elect a county puppet.</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>I don't know about the rest of the state.. but I wish that people with even time in any law school would run in Northeast MS. </div>

Give the ****** lawyers and bail bondsmen in Madison/Ridgeland something to look at while they're standing around waiting for a criminal appointment.

"What, you passed 50 cars and identified mine by the tail lights?" "Yes". "Great, here's photos of 50 car taillights. Which one's mine?" "Too long to remember? Ok, which one of these is the taillights on YOUR vehicle?"

Though you can blame the judge over training and certification for radar, since that's a requirement in the statute.

I lost a traffic case because the judge couldn't understand basic sentence structure.

What's worse about those judges, is that the local lawyers take total control. They work out the results before court even begins, the rest is theatre. If you'd hired a local lawyer on that case, he wouldn't have made one tenth the case, but the judge would have sided with him. If they'd even bothered with the trial.

She was formerly Marsha Weems. Her dad is a Canton Alderman (God bless him for putting up with those fools). She is married to an ex-Auburn football player (keeping it sports related). She would do a good job for this position. I would love to see her, O'Cain, and Weisenberger in those positions. Mostly they deal with judgements under $3500. I've been in front of this court before to collect money from customers. This court is a business owner's best friend. Nobody needs a lawyer, you plead your own case.

Marsha doesn't have a lot of experience, but she is extremely smart, and in-tune with what is going on. She would do a great job.

Only 2 downsides:

She is a Rebel, and probably gets more upset about losing football games than most men I know.

Her husband, Scottplayed DE at Auburn in 94-95 after 2 years at Hinds. You may remember the Wisner sideline helmet smashing. He claims to be the cause of it.

Working in convenience stores is the sum of her professional experience.

But I didn't know that I was walking into such incompetence. I had the case won on the fact the officer couldn't produce the first document that the radar was maintained, he was qualified to operate it, or if there even was one in his car. I asked for dismissal after each fact and was denied even after quoting precedents and having highlighted copies of the precedents. Judge actually let the officer go get a document faxed to him showing previous days log of radar. Pulled out best evidence rule and judge looked at me like I started speaking Italian. Then admitted to the court he has never heard of it. The rest was just disputing his recollection of events.


Next time I'll bring a recorder of some kind and announce that it is in case the case will go up for appeal. And I'm not hiring a lawyer for a 150 dollar ticket.

 

[patdog]

is that it doesn't matter what the law is and it barely matters what the facts are. The only thing that matters is what the judge wants to do and how he/she wants to rule. I saw many cases come up waiting for mine. I saw several where people that were obviously guilty were let off and a few where people with what seemed to be legitimate cases were found guilty. When mine finally came up, I showed the judge pictures of the site where I was ticketed for parking in a fire lane. The markings and signage was confusing and I honestly thought I was parking in a crosswalk and not a fire lane. The judge backed the officer and found me guilty, but remanded it to my file. As I was leaving I asked that bailiff what that meant and he said I didn't have to pay the fine but if I got another ticket in the next year, they'd pull this one back up and make me pay it. So I guess I caught a bit of a lucky break. But it was such a pain in the *** that the next time I got a speeding ticket near County Line Rd. where the cop actually wrote the ticket for Madison County even though where he pulled me over was still in Hinds County, I just went ahead and paid it instead of going to court to argue that Madison County didn't have jurisdiction.

I learned a long time ago the only way to win those cases is to catch the cop in a lie or clear error. But i don't know if i could have gotten out of that courtroom you were in without a contempt of court citation.

I have a friend that won one, because the cop testified he saw his rear tires peel out, but it was a front wheel drive car.

You'll appreciate the outcome of mine: judge found me guilty, but gave me a $0 fine since i had such a "good case" (wrong way on a one way, when cop testified i traveled 3 car lengths the wrong way, and i showed in court that there were no visible wrong way signs, and the city had put a traffic light up that by state law indicated it was safe to travel in that direction). On a <$100 ticket. Court costs: $80. Insurance costs: $hundreds. Bastard acted like he was doing me a favor. Apparantly the idea of finding someone not guilty never occured to him.

To make you feel better about MS though, i moved to the coast several years ago, and have been caught 4 or 5 times for clear violations, but only been ticketed once.

Were they Michelin model XGV, size 75r, 14 inch wheel?
