Some people may dislike Judge Innes' ruling, but I can only imagine the complaints that would have resulted if one of our local judges had reached the same conclusion. | Quietly,
Good assesment! Besides our 3 Judges would have the heat put to them by both sides. They would have been put in a lose/ lose situation. Look at our County attorney, John S. has felt the heat, just on the Terry Lee case, and he melted on that one.
