Approach to the law
Speaking at a "Meet the Candidates" event in Warren County in 2014, Staton noted the following:
| “ | It's not proper for--in my opinion, my personal opinion--for a judge to accept any recommendation, any endorsement from any political party or anybody serving in office. I will not accept any contributions of any money. I will not accept any endorsements. If anyone wants to vote for me, they're going to get someone who's going to be sitting on the bench who is going to be honest and fair and compassionate.[6] | ” |
| —Roger Staton[7] | ||
| “ | People are entitled to a trial. They're entitled to a public trial. They're entitled to a fair, impartial and untethered judge. I'm against mandatory sentencing whether it comes from the legislature in Columbus or whether it comes from the judge in the courtroom.[6] | ” |
