Hinds County has been fortunate to have Judge Gowan on the bench. He has served the City of Jackson and County for more than four decades. All the Mayors of the past four decades trusted Bill with the legal business of the City. He served Sheriff Malcolm McMillin as Chief Counsel and Undersheriff. Judge Gowan is well liked by all attorneys and has the distinction of being appointed by two Governor's (Musgrove and Barbour) and twice elected by the voters.
A great judge and a better man. I have had the privilege of working with Judge Gowan while he was with the City of Jackson, the Sheriff's Department and as a Judge. He will be missed.
An excellent judge, a student of the law. He will be missed.
gowan served with distinction . he defeated that goofball malcom harrison whom barbour had appionted. harrison knew about as much about being a circuit judge as i know about the backside of the moon. hinds county already had 2 idiots on the circuit bench and we didn't need a 3nd one. thank god the voters recognized that.
Bill Gowan is a good friend, a good man and Lawyer and an outstanding Judge. He will be missed
Have you seen the Mayberry police car he has. That is soo cool.
He has always been a breath of fresh air in Hinds County bs. Happy for him but dreadfully sorry he is leaving
You can look the world over and not a finer person, judge in the world. Jackson is loosing a real assets! He, Mac and Steve Pickett were the finest served in HCSD. Those were the days, finest integrity found! God Speed Judge!
Gowan was, at times, disappointing in sentencing jury convicted defendants; but overall, a big loss with him retiring.
4:06....losing not "loosing"....and other than that I totally agree....Judge Gowan was honest, fair, quick minded and had common sense....real common sense...
Malcolm Harrison is a good guy and very smart. That comment is misguided.
Judge Skinner for Circuit Court Judge!!!
Great guy. Filled with wisdom and humor. That Alston kid was due to b before him. Hope bill has a great retirement.
GUESS HE HAS GOTTEN ALL HE CAN FROM HINDS COUNTY. RUMOR IS HE HAS PURCHASED A HOME IN MADISON.
9:35,
If that is true...you can't blame him, he lives in Belhaven.
He is a great guy and deserves the best.
