I served in the military, and later as an Assistant District Attorney, a County Judge, and a City Chief Judge in the Great State of Georgia. I've prosecuted criminals in the State of Georgia and represented military veterans in courts up to and including the United States Supreme Court. Everything about my life has been SERVICE to a cause greater than self!
I am running for this office to serve the good citizens of Georgia as a Justice on Georgia's highest Court, and to reclaim the foundations upon which our great state and country were founded. I support the Constitution, and a return to common sense in our judiciary.- Experience: Having Justices reflect the diversity of our communities, including those like myself who held careers in the military, in my case the Army, where my home was Fort Benning, is a good thing for the Interests of Justice.
- Common Sense: Highlighting and Integrating the Rights of Victims in our courtrooms, and revisiting notions like trial court judges acting as a "13th juror" to nullify the verdicts of juries in criminal cases is a priority of mine. These types of cases always favor the defendants, and never side with the State or the other Constitutionally recognized jurors.
- Justice: Strict adherence to the Constitution as written, and never substituting the will of the judge for what the law actually says, is my priority. Judicial activism is wrong, and such "creation" of the law is best left to the Legislature, not the Judiciary.
