Vote for Tracey!

The competition (especially John Bradley) is stiff for worst prosecutor of the year. But Durham's "minister of justice" is definitely in the running.

Housekeeping matters: I tweet all my posts (both here and from Minding the Campus) on my twitter feed; follow me here.

I voted for everyone's -- and Durham's -- favorite.

I really wish the competition weren't so stiff. I find it difficult to figure out which is the worst.

After reading the dossiers of each of these people who defile their office every time they go to work, I had to go with John Bradley. That said, each and every one of them should be richly rewarded with permanent disbarment and time in a state corrections facility of their victims' choosing.

I just can't make the leap to Twitter. Everyone must have their limits. Mine is Twitter. That and fast food will be the death of us all. Happy New Year KC.

There is a problem with the poll. No "all of the above" button"! What a sorry list........yuck.

K.C.,

I want DIW readers to know that, in the finest of political traditions, I am doing my best to stuff the ballot box so that Tracey can win this "prestigious" award.

I have suggested to Radley that he rename it The Nifong Award or just The Nifong, but he has not yet done so. Nonetheless, Tracey Cline has upheld the proudest of traditions of not just prosecutorial abuse (heck, ANY prosecutor can lie and cheat, and most do), but to go beyond the Call of Duty and be as outrageous as possible.

Go Tracey!!

I see that at the present time, our efforts are paying off an TRACEY IS IN THE LEAD!! These are exciting times I tell you.

Iowa? New Hampshire? What's that? THIS is the election that counts!

Tracey line is farther ahead of the pack than Mitt Romney was in Iowa :-).

She has some pretty tough competition when one of the nominees are like this:

Ebert’s incredible justification for withholding exculpatory evidence: He feared that it would have allowed Wolfe’s attorneys to “fabricate a defense around what is provided.”

OOPS! John Bradley has surged.

C'mon folks - let's give Tracey all the support she deserves. :-)

Tracey may have a new one to prosecute.

But maybe she won't be able to bollix this one in time to effect the results. Darn.

Have also been doing my best but late last night when I tried to vote (in the best Chicago style, yet again) I received a message that I had already voted. However, today is a new day so will once again be trying to help Tracey win this most coveted award.

I'm really sorry, but I had to vote for Switzer. Please forgive me.

As much as I appreciate the antics of Tracey Cline, Lynn Switzer got my vote. I have looked over the mitochondrial DNA results briefly in the Hank Skinner case, and they lean toward being exculpatory rather than inculpatory. To attempt to execute someone without testing obvious items of evidence is plain-vanilla wrong.
