Inadequate judge

Thursday, April 5, 2007 During the past several years, people have experienced what could only be described as an alarming situation in our court system. I can no longer remain silent about this problem and have decided to take this matter to the public’s attention.

The integrity of the 20th Judicial District of Stanly, Anson and Richmond County is in jeopardy. We have a Superior Court Judge who is neither fair nor ethical. We have a seated Judge whose knowledge of the law is deficient.

After researching case histories, I have found that approximately 50 lawyers have appealed his decisions to our Appellate Courts, and in a good number of these cases, the Appellate Courts have ruled that Judge Michael Beale did not know the law, and consequently, they reversed his decision. Can you imagine a Judge who is wrong on the law that many times?

The public who find themselves in a courtroom for whatever reason is certainly entitled to have a judge presiding who is knowledgeable in law and can render a correct decision.

Judge Beale has shown that he has an attitude towards the public that is atrocious and unacceptable. He has proven time and time again that he lacks knowledge and respect for the law. He has served the people of the 20th Judicial District so ineptly that the public should call for his resignation. The people of the 20th Judicial District deserve a more learned and judicious individual than Michael Beale.

They deserve a judge who is competent and understands the laws of our courts. The public deserves the benefit of havin a Judge presiding over their cases who will be fair and honest and who will be without prejudice.

The public deserves the benefit of having a Judge presiding over their cases who will be fair and honest and who will be without prejudice. The public deserves a Judge who is both responsive and responsible to the public which he or she serves.
