[I want to know]

It seems to me that I read he had a twin (?) brother who was also a judge. Sorry, but I can't recall where I read that information (probably on one of the old threads).

I think I read that too...somewhere earlier. Gov. Mike Easley is the hydra head that has appointed so many of the participants. Once in office, they run for election as incumbants. Packing the courts w/dem friends?

Thanks, I recall reading that Ron and Don are twin brothers. It does seem to be Easley's M.O. ... appointment, then run for office.

Let's see how Ron handles court today. Will he allow more chuckling from Nifong, (another Easley appointment)?

Are the NBP's in town?

I think if your name is Ronald and you have a twin, there's at least a 90% chance of your brother's being named Donald.
