Does NDN have any REPORTERS that can report on his judicial record (and ALL other incumbents/candidates), or should we just vote for him like sheeple due to the fact he's an incumbent and has 3 kids?

Do Not let him be a judge again. He gave out the most unfair and ridiculous rulings ever. By far the worst judge I ever testified in front of, even worse if he presides over one of your cases.

JUDGE TURNER IS A 'STRAIGHT UP GUY' WHO ISN'T TIMID AND TELLS IT LIKE IT IS...VERY COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL TO COUNSEL AND DEFENDANTS...HIS REPUTATION FOR BEING OVERLY 'VERBOSE' DOES OFTEN WASTE MUCH COURT TIME FOR HIS "CAPTIVE AUDIENCE"...I HOPE THE JUDGE READS THIS AND ABBREVIATES HIS 'EDITORIALIZING' AT THE EXPENSE OF COUNSELS' TIME BUT IRRESPECTIVE THEREOF, ONE OF OUR BEST JUDGES AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS RE-ELECTION. YES, I HAVE BEEN IN HIS COURTROOM MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME HE GAVE ALL PARTIES A 'SQUARE DEAL'...WE NEED MORE JUDGES LIKE JUDGE TURNER. PROUD TO KNOW HIM.

well what happened to the old republican battle cry of "RE-ELECT NO ONE!!" and "VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!" and "TERM LIMITS NOW!!"
Oh I get it if you have that infamous "R" after your name on that ballot you are OK to re-elect for life, right?
