Ohio: Judge R. David Picken has announced his intention to retire from the Madison County Municipal Court on December 31, 2010. The 65-year-old judge and the Madison County commissioners have often been at odds over the past few years. Regarding the politics surrounding his retirement, Picken explained, "It has become counterproductive for me to try any new initiatives or to try and get things done because I have too many rocks to move out of my way." He has served on this court for 17 years. Prior to joining the court, he was a prosecutor for Madison County for 17 years.[1]
