In reply to Tyler D.

Well, if he ever has to face a recall campaign and loses, he’ll fit right in editing the local newsletter on Magnolia Drive.
I’m saying “Huh?” on their stories and Op/Eds usually by the second paragraph.

After seeing Dodson rebuked multiple times on the same case by the DCA,the biggest cause of concern for me is… Does this show that the insider network in the city of Tallahassee has encompassed the judiciary? If so everyone that isn’t an insider should be fearful. Maybe someone without any local ties is needed to shine some light here.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I think I’ll dig up a copy of Walking Tall (with Joe Don Baker) to refresh my memory of how bad local insiders can get when left unchecked.

Thanks for keeping us up to date!

This is the very definition of “rigging an election”.

It can only be done by those in power!

Have we seen any evidence in this case yet?

Dodson, the tyrant of the court . What kind of arrogance does this man exhibit?

How can a judge take the position of, “I don’t want to hear the evidence, I’m ready to issue my ruling”? Not once, but twice. However, once he has done that, how can he reasonably and fairly refuse a motion to disqualify himself from the case? He has been reversed twice by the higher court. His bias, or competence, is in question. He must disqualify himself. The old saying applies, “When you’re in a hole, quit digging.”

Imagine the numbers of litigants who have left Dodson’s courtroom shaking their head wondering, “Why?” Why did the rule of law not apply? Why didn’t he allow due process? Why did he rule the way he did? Judge Dodson’s actions cast a shadow over all Leon County Circuit court proceedings. Yes, it’s unfair to the many good and decent judges on the bench, but the conduct of this judge is egregious.

Don’t know what to think of this. I know one thing, I would not want to be in Charlie’s shoes. He probably should have recused himself from the case when DCA bounced it back the first time.
