I want to take this opportunity to thank my friends and colleagues for supporting my campaign for District Court Judge. When I initially announced my candidacy, I declared my intention to run for the seat currently occupied by Judge Sean Smith.

My friend and colleague, Dionne Kelly, recently announced that she will no longer pursue her candidacy for District Court Judge. With her support and endorsement, I have decided to run for Seat 13 that will be vacated by Judge Michael Stading at the end of his term.

Public service as always been a cornerstone of my career. Prior to opening my law practice, I served as an assistant public defender in Durham County, North Carolina. For the past sixteen years I have appeared daily in the Mecklenburg County district courts. During this time, I have represented thousands of clients in criminal, civil and other district court related matters. Based on my training and experience, I fully understand the laws and procedures that govern district court, and I will be ready to serve on day one.

I am proud of the work that I have performed and have dedicated my career to public service. Thanks again for your continued support.

Please visit my website at www.electdavisfordistrictcourt.com for more information, to volunteer, or make a donation to my campaign.

It is with great pleasure that I announce my candidacy for District Court Judge. I am seeking to fill the seat currently held by Judge Sean Smith. Over the next few days I will be launching a campaign website which will include more details about the campaign. Thanks in advance for your help and support.

This is going to be a very interesting case!!!!!

Police say 49-year-old Alan Brett Corder shot and killed 20-year-old Justin Anderson after Corder called 911 about an intruder he saw in his store by way of a security camera.

There's an old saying that you can indict a ham sandwich. I guess it's true. Truly a RUBBER STAMP!!!

More than two dozen York County, South Carolina defense lawyers want all June 2018 grand jury indictments tossed and a new grand jury brought in after prosecutors took more than 900 cases before the panel. The lawyers say the grand jury could not have properly considered the cases.

The is a public service announcement!!

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is.........

SERIOUSLY!!!!!

If you are a suspect or you have been arrested, I don't think there is ever a good time to waive your Miranda rights and speak to the police.

If you deny that you did anything wrong during the interview, the State will object, and your statements will never be heard. You may be forced to testifiy at trial and say that you denied the charges when you were arrested.

If you do poorly, the State will attempt to play the entire contents of the interview. If you do extremely well during the interview, the the state, who has the burden of proof, will not introduce the interview.

When you get arrested shut you damn mouth!! KINDLY AND GENTLY inform the police that you do not want to make a statement and that you would like to have an attorney.

If you are booked/processed into the jail or you are at a holding facility, DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT THE CASE during any phone conversation. There is no expectation of privacy when you are in jail. All calls are recorded, ALL CALLS!!!! If they catch you slipping you may have assisted in your own prosecution.

Interesting debate!!!! Surprised at Apple's backbone!! This is what America is all about despite the ramifications.

Should companies, like Apple, have to unlock encrypted communication in the case of a crime?

So far, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies have taken a low-key approach, wary of past confrontations that turned into violent sieges.

Very interesting debate.

It’s easy to lose your way in moments like this when we are so fearful.
