With respect to the race for District Judge, are you SURE you understand what is really going on? STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL, OPEN & UNIQUE Most incumbents run based on the record of their accomplishments in offi ce. WATERFRONT HOME That probably won’t be true with my opponent. Why? Because even though ON LAKE KIOWA! there were many older cases waiting to be heard (a situation for which she was partly responsible due to her lack of diligence as District Attorney), my opponent did not make good use of time, leading to a further 20% increase in 826 Kiowa Drive East the back log since she became judge. $774,000 On many weekdays during the last three years, no hearings at all were held. Cases set for trial were postponed, sometimes three or more times. Blocks of 5-4-4 4,666 Square Feet One of the best values on the lake on over half an acre. Ideal time were allocated to cases and then left unused. Time was spent on unnec- for entertaining. Dream kitchen! Incredible views from most rooms.

Some of these practices had to be challenged See virtual tours on all my listings on MelodeeYoung.com, remax.com and realtor.com. before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals before any changes were made. Melodee Moody Young Hearings of guilty pleas in criminal cases were constantly delayed by the RE/MAX Pinnacle Group Realtors requirement that a pre-sentence investigation be done, leaving a disposition 817-715-5011 cell in limbo (sometimes for months). As a result, the rate at which cases were Toll Free - 1-866-980-SELL brought to conclusion (even with two judges operating in different court- [email protected] rooms) was at least 30% less than what the average district court in Texas was able to accomplish (fewer than 1300 case dispositions annually in Gainesville compared to an average of more than 1900 across the state). Lenience was shown to repeat criminal offenders such as Jody Meador - which only encour- ages others to see that same lenience. There was no reason for this to occur, and there is certainly no reason to let it continue. Your common sense tells you this. My practice since 1979 has been very broad in nature, both as to areas of the law and the number of different courts that I have had the opportunity to work in. Thus, I know what it will take to solve these problems. An effi cient hard- working judge who knows and follows the law is what leads to justice. The best lawyers cannot overcome a poor judge. I began trying my cases before my opponent began trying to get into law school. I study the law every day. I have several published articles on legal topics. My aim is not for power, pres- tige, or money, but rather to best utilize my skills and knowledge for the public good at a time when that is desperately needed. If what you want as your judge is a good lawyer who will fulfi ll the purpose of the court, you will need to give me your vote. Understand why I am running; don’t be caught with your head in the sand on March 4. Vote for Martin Peterson for District Judge. For additional information, see www.MartinPertersonForCookeCounty.com.
