If someone (like McCarty) thinks Weill is wrong, they ask the appeals court to look at the opinion Weill wrote and find Weill wrong. From what I’ve seen, the appeals courts have said Weill was RIGHT in his interpretation of the law 80+ % of the time and have said McCarty was WRONG 80% of the time - put another way, Weill was right 80% of the time and McCarty was right only 20% of the time. So Weill was correct 4x more often than McCarty - if someone offered me $4.00 or $1.00, call me stupid, but I’d take the $4.00 - I’m voting for Weill.

He did this on his FaceBook page and, apparently, in a complaint with Judicial Performance. <br /><br />He did this after losing every County in the 4th appellate Court district. Weill alleged as follows “My opponent David McCarty has joined forces with [a political party] in an unethical attempt to win this nonpartisan election. Your support is the only way we can stop this orchestrated liberal attack…Last minute illegal newspaper ads told [a political party] to vote downticket for…David McCarty in my race. Droves of voters were badgered at the polls and handed illegal pre-marked sample ballots soliciting votes for the [political party] candidates, including “nonpartisan” David McCarty. These sample ballots were prepared by … by secret [political party] operatives, and thousands of these illegal “cheat sheets” were handed to voters all across the district immediately before votes were cast…Dirty tricks like these have been reported from precincts all over our great nation following the recent election, and it is likely that McCarty and his [political party] fixers will approach the runoff with more tricks and “cheat sheets” in hand.“ Desperate candidate’s Facebook page.<br /><br />In an Opinion handed down on Tuesday, the Special Committee on Judicial Campaign Intervention, found “[b]ased on the information provided, the Special Committee does not find sufficient evidence to determine that P or his committee are in violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct or Mississippi election laws in the preparation and distribution of sample ballots…” You may be thinking well that is not that powerful, however that is as good as it gets in clearing your name when a sitting Judge makes false allegations! This really means that there was NO proof offered by the candidate alleging “illegal” and “unethical” conduct. He lied!<br /><br />Despite his statements of droves of voters being badgered, not one came forward. Despite his allegations of illegal cheatsheets blessed by the candidate, NONE materialized. The complaining candidate simply made false allegations, had NO proof and publicized it on FaceBook. <br /><br />Think about what would happen to you if you made allegations against a Judge with no proof. Think about how you would feel going into that Courtroom. Do you think you would get justice? How would you feel knowing your Judge has NO regard for making false statements? It is time to hold our Judges, our candidates and ourselves to a higher standard.<br /><br />David McCarty is that higher standard. I fully support and endorse David McCarty for Court of Appeals Mississippi. He represents all Mississippians regardless of race, creed, socioeconomic status and above all he has a love and respect for the rule of law. THAT is what you want in an appellate court judge. Respect for the rule of law. Not a blind bias to one party over another, not a preconceived notion of guilt,, but a pledge to uphold the law, apply the law and carry out the law with integrity and fairness. <br /><br />I do not always agree with David McCarty. I expect that will continue going forward, however, I will NEVER questions his integrity, his motives, his judicial temperament or his bias. I cannot say that for his opponent. David has beat him once. Please help David beat him again on November 27, 2018.<br /><br />VOTE McCARTY. Mississippi needs and deserves him.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517286791896714567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-72280398068926116892018-11-26T17:13:10.952-06:002018-11-26T17:13:10.952-06:004:18 - no, what caused Weill to lose counties to M...4:18 - no, what caused Weill to lose counties to McCarty was the Espy GOTV turnout machine. Look at all the counties, check their precinct numbers. Espy and McCarty virtually match in each precinct, with a few notable exceptions that can in most cases be explained by local conditions (family members, e.g.). Being put onto the Bennie Thompson, Derick Johnson NAACP sample ballots being distributed by Espy's workers is what made the difference on the 6th. And, of course, having the dollars that came from the numerous trial lawyers. (KF's post didn't begin to touch on them; name all the players - Morgan & Morgan, Oliver Diaz, Will Bardwell, Crymes Pittman, Lance Stevens, Mike Moore -- keep on naming them, and you will find them numerous times on McCarty's reports. That's what made the difference. The other things that you refer to just show that he doesn't care about following the explicit laws - the ones that all candidates are schooled on and understand well. But since he's a Democrat at heart, those rules don't have to be followed by McCarty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-86453087157430227122018-11-26T16:31:10.646-06:002018-11-26T16:31:10.646-06:00@Ghost of the Past, I doubt you've known David...@Ghost of the Past, I doubt you've known David for 20+ years.

Also, he had the highest rate of cases overturned on appeal than any other Hinds County judge. His rulings violated people's rights and the law.
