Now all drug suspect's have to do is act calm to get out of drug charges. Wow.
Dear Mel,
After reading the letters you posted regarding JUDGE SKAHAN. It is apparent that you don't understand that Criminal Court Judges are not police officers, crime fighters, or baby sitters. They are sworn to uphold and enforce the laws created by our legislature. You previous suggested JUDGE SKAHAN should be replaced because you don't like an isolated ruling our of "HER" Court. Well Mel, you must have been a sleep that day in 7th grade social studies when the teacher first explained the separation of powers of our three branches of government. From the FACT reported in the Commercial Appeal (May 24-25, 2005) it appears that unfortunatley the POLICE OFFICER "VIOLATED THE RIGHTS " OF THE DRIVER. Its not JUDGE SKAHAN fault the officer screwed up the arrest. If you have never heard of any police officer doing something wrong and then pointing the finger else where; well, I assume you have been living in a CAVE. JUDGE SKAHAN did exactually what I expect our Judges to do and that is UPHOLD the LAW. I say KEEP JUDGE SKAHAN and VOTE JUDGE SKAHAN!!! We need someone with 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE !!
