What Is Going on With Judge John Creuzot?

RECEIVED Tue., June 17, 2008

Dear Editor,
    How can Judge John Creuzot remain on Mary Mathis' case when he is under investigation by the Judicial Committee for violating Mathis' rights? Why has it taken the Judicial Committee more than six months to investigate and put the case on the docket, but still it has no date and time? Could there be favors going on? The very committee to uphold judicial conduct is afraid to police its own, especially when they are well respected. Why is it that people will back Creuzot, even when they know that he is wrong? Is it because John Creuzot is making money for so many people with his Wilma project that no one seems to investigate? Even the D.A. stated that there is no case, but yet, due to Ms. Rhonda Hunter being involved, the case remains. This is not a murder case, but a domestic theft case from 2001, and Craig Watkins stated that they would not pursue cases without enough evidence! The news media seem to think that this is business as usual for Dallas County, or do they not care about one person's plight?
