I believe I have the three qualities needed to be a successful Judge. Firm. Fair. Experienced. I am firm because I have used jail to take criminals out of the public for a time to protect citizens.
I am a fair Judge, giving equal treatment to everyone who comes before me. I am starting a pre-arrest jail diversion that promotes and supports efforts to create more effective interactions among law enforcement, mental health care providers, individuals with mental illness, their families and communities.
I have been blessed with a wealth of experience that uniquely qualifies me to continue as Judge in Circuit Court 3. I have been involved in many jury trials including 3 murder trials, drug dealing, violent crimes and sex offenses.
