[Subcontractor] Morris has been pursuing payment [from Basnight] since he completed his work in July 2002. The first writ of execution was issued in October 2003. It was based on a February 2003 judgment in Hyde County Court. Padilla allowed the execution to expire because the lawyers from both sides were trying to work things out, he told CJ last year. They didnt get worked out.
"In May 2004 the Hyde County Clerk of Court issued another writ of execution to the sheriff of Dare County. That document was an order for the sheriff to collect property from Basnight Construction to pay a $41,777 judgment. Interest of $4,258 and court costs of $210 were added for a total of $46,245."
"...Reached at his Basnight Construction office, Jimmy Basnight said, 'He got a judgment due to my ignorance, I just didnt pay attention to the paperwork...
'I dont owe him any money yet. The contract says he will be paid when we are paid,' he said. He said has not been paid by Peters & White, and he disputed $29,000 in the judgment against his company [and says he will appeal]."
Apparently, court judgements do not mean a thing if you are friends with the Sheriff.

Could Norma Mills, the county attorney, reluctance to enforce the ruling have anything to do with the fact she was formerly his chief legal council at the North Carolina Senate, and recieved HUGE bonus monies (25,000 plus) after the 2000 and 2002 elections, from his campaign fund, duly reported in campaign reports? Hmmmmmm?
