I bet Justice Gibbs is licking his lips lol
Will there be sufficient time to obtain enough ballots? Will the brain dead commissioners sleep through their training? Are the classes in Paris?
What training
Due to unfortunate circumstances Hinds County has a rare opportunity to get a truly talented individual on it's bench. If Teeuwissen will run and the voters don't get fooled again by some mindless campaign, this County might finally take a step forward, at least at that Courthouse. He's got his foot in the door, that's a start.
Why hasn’t Tate appointed a youth court judge in Rankin County? It is long overdue!
@9:53pm - Hinds is lost. They elected Debra Gibbs, 10x worse than Tommie Green. The special election will yield another Gibbs, or worse. Teeuwissen has some time to get in there and clean things up, but it’s a lost cause at this point. Leave while you can, let it fail.
Tate pulled this one off with excellent advice from his legal advisors who researched the constitution.

Either you don't live here, don't understand how things work, or haven't seen a pic of him. Teeuwissen IS NOT getting elected in Hinds county.
"Teeuwissen has some time to get in there and clean things up,"
How so? All he can do it 'hear' the cases now brought before him. Can't clean up all the years of crap.
Stokes was hearing civil cases. I don't see Hicks giving up youth court nor McDaniels giving up criminal.
@9:53 sounds a bit salty and biased. 20+ years of Green letting criminals walk is pretty difficult to overcome, unless you're playing image repair under KF's posts.
Not sure what you mean by 'salty', 2:27, but your mistaken if you think the incoming judge has some obligation or ability to 'repair' the past. The past is history and the history is Green. If his methodology is different, history will be different.
Hope you don't view me as 'image repair' or 'salty'.
He got the attorneys attention last week when he started court right on time and said that was the way it was going to be. They weren't used to that in Hinds County Court. I've sat through two JM hearings and he came in 45 minutes and an hour 15 minutes late each time.
