The money behind the Carlton-Dankelson campaign for judge


The battle to replace retired Judge David Dally is heating up with District 6 Judge Stephen Carlton (pictured below) looking to move to Jasper County District 2 judge and Jasper County Prosecuting and Attorney Dean Dankelson looking to move to the other side of the courtroom.

Carlton's quarterly report, filed this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission, indicates he raised $13,475 during the past quarter and spent $3,584.10, leaving him with $10,501.70 in his campaign account.

Dankelson raised $25,600 and spent $7,438.74, leaving him with $18,727.28.

The other side of the courtroom? I guess technically that statement is true. But if you think for one second that the prosecutor and the judge are on different sides of ANYTHING...you don't know how the judicial system really works.

Well this is just too cozy. Can a prosecutor ever step into an objective courtroom? I think if we recruit judges (associate, Circuit, Appellate, Supreme) from the prosecutor pool, we have just railroaded all civil liberties and civil rights by biasing any objectivity with regards to granting motions, writs for appeals, and accepting formal discovery evidence to the contrary of expulsion of charges. This is a encroachment of objectivity, and since the prosecutor has abuse of discretion immunity and is exempt from mens rea, mens actus....he as a prosecutor can willfully withhold evidence by which he has never gotten the proper channels to ensure and thus may be incarcerating an innocent person in prison for a indefinite period of time, due to his abuse of discretion at the bench. Appointment a prosecutor is blinding the eyes of lady liberty and crippling an already compromised system. If you don't want a riot, and future Feds telling you how to run your state I strongly advise not to appoint prosecutors to the bench as a judge of any kind.
