CL endorses Diaz

The Clarion-Ledger endorsed Justice Oliver Diaz today.

Here are some snippets from the article. To read the full piece, click here.

A state Supreme Court comprised of nine justices who think exactly alike is a dangerous thing. Judicial balance comes from divergent philosophies working together to follow the law.

Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz is not in lockstep with the current majority on the state Supreme Court. Frequently, Diaz disagrees with that majority and makes his arguments for his positions in rational, authoritative dissents. That's what the public hears about.

But less evident is the balance that Diaz brings to the court through those dissents and through his own life experiences.

Clearly, Diaz is a judge who has learned to look at the law through the eyes of those whose lives hang in the balance of court decisions.

  1. Oliver Diaz was a two bit ambulance chaser who was put in office by scumbag plaintiff's attorneys to line the pockets of his BEST friends DICKIE SCRUGGS AND PAUL MINOR. He will lose big time. Every business has Judge Pierce signs and I personally will make a few calls tonight after reading this bit of news...liberal Clarion ledger, supporters of the crook Paul Minor (oh yeah, sorry Mr. Minor senior...boo hoo).

  2. The fact that DIAZ did NOT resign after he was wrongfully accused shows fortitude and INNOCENCE. The fact that he stuck it out speaks volumes about this man. As far as the 'baby rape and murder' case, that did NOT occur period. Steven Hayne and the court system denied Jeffrey Havard his exoneration by FAILING to provide a rebuttal witness to the now defunct Hayne. Any idiot could see this guy is INNOCENT. I know if for a FACT. Have seen the LACK of evidence Since his conviction, real State Medical Examiners have examined the state's evidence...there is very little. They have concluded without a DOUBT that NO RAPE OCCURRED and that Mr. Havard's version of accidently dropping the child after a bath is consistant with the findings. Had the hospital not taken 20 minutes to get this baby intubated then most likely she would have lived. They DEPRIVED her of oxygen for way too long. So yes, Diaz is right and HONORABLE for voting in favor of Havard. Or are you guys in Misssissippi still KILL-HAPPY even if the guy is INNOCENT.....nothing like a good Saturday night lynching is there?
