WILL IT BE LA PALANCA OR LEGAL PERFORMANCE AT 445TH?

(We received this in the email in support of Rene De Coss. We have met him and he is the real deal. He is facing an uphill fight against the palanca (straight ticket) vote that favors Democrat Gloria Rincones, so we will see how that goes.) 

IT'S ALL ABOUT GETTING IT RIGHT

As a judge, one carries an enormous responsibility to assure that the law is applied fairly and impartially and – most importantly – correctly.
The law may be an abstract, but every decision we make affects breathing, living human beings. It may send someone to prison for many years for a crime. Or it may free wrongfully accused persons.

We can't afford to get something "partially" right, or wrong. Every "i" has to be dotted and "t" crossed to give all the parties in a trial an even playing field.

When judges fail in the application of the law, it mocks the concept of a fair and impartial legal process that can result in a murderer walking our streets, kidnappers thumbing their nose at their victims, criminals attacking our la enforcement officers without facing any consequences, and brings dishonor to our profession.

I am proud to say that in the 1,000 or more cases over which I have presided, only two have had appeals filed regarding procedure and one already came back upholding my decision, finding no error. There is only one still in the appeals process.

We're all humans and no one's perfect. But rest assured that if you decide to keep me on the bench of the 445th District Court as your judge this November 8, every decision that I make will be based on sound legal principals that will prevent such grievous miscarriages of justice.

Let's get it right the first time.

Hopefully the electorate will make an educated vote. LA palanca is not a good way to vote. Decoss is the best and most qualified for the position.

Obviously Rene De Coss is the most qualified candidate for this position

At least he knows the difference between Concurrent and Consecutive. Did he attend BISD I wonder?

Unfortunately the electorate here finds the palanca easier than learning about the candidates. Voters still depend on the Dumbokratic Party as their "master" or "pardon". Its easier than thinking.

Fwd: NoSubject
We need everyone texting family and friends that we the Hispanic, Blacks, Muslim, LGB and all other minority's are the face of America. Not racist Trump and his supporters. We know what they are doing to suppress our vote. When Obama won we all stood together and got him elected. Now we must stand behind HER to get her elected. Together we are stronger. Hilary! Hilary! Hilary!
Send a text to everyone you know and ask them to forward it to everyone they know. This is what each of us can do on the final days of this election.
Rincones forwarded this via cell phone ...kinda scary since she is running to be a judge
