****Is he too much of a friend to Colon Willoughby and the Wake County prosecutorial service?

I guess it just depends on who is part of the *corruption and cover up*....some can get by with things that others get caught for....but this is just how is works....it is sad when EVERYONE is not held accountable for what they do / or not. NC General Assembly could make a difference but I guess they are not too concerned about things either.

"Crouch was a sleazy attorney who got results, he didn't care if how he did it was legal, underhanded or not. mypoint"

Yes, oh yes! Mister Crouch is my kind of attorney. He is exactly the sort of attorney I want working for me. Given the choice of Mister Nice Guy loser or Mister sleazy attorney who gets results, I will take Mister sleazy attorney who gets results every single time.

There are a lot of *crooked attorneys* in the world....probably more of them than those who are capable of really wanting to help people....most attorneys just want to *collect the most money and do the least amount of work for it*.....and in the process they do not really care what else happens.....this is the world in which the good ole boys and girls network lives.....afterall, *IT IS JUST A GAME THAT THEY PLAY EVERY DAY*...

Why has Judge Paul Gessner who was also guilty of the same things done by Kristen Ruth given a pass on this conduct? Is he too much of a friend to Colon Willoughby and the Wake County prosecutorial service?

He will be practicing law in another state within 5 years or will end up as a PI for his wife's firm. Don't anyone shed a tear for his future.

If Mister Crouch is no longer available there are a plethora of other lawyers that can easily and quietly get any sort of citation fixed. Usually it costs no more then the fine would have been and all the other consequences simply never happen. piene2

Yes plenty. And they might keep their law licenses and not get felony convictions if they don't lie to ADA's to have court days and hand Judge Gregory 2 pages out of a 10 page police report and try to pass it off as the full report.

"I don't think there's any question," Cheshire said. "Most people are at this particular stage. I think that James is going back and trying to re-evaluate his life and what caused him to be where he is today."

He had some help, Judge Christine Ruth.

As part of the agreement he gives up his license and agrees to turn his cases over to another attorney. He wouild have had to that anyway. Our DA is slack to say the least. I will never vote for him again. If that is the best our DA can do -- he needs to hit the road as of yestereday. Colon-- you are an embarrassment to the taxpayers in Wake County.

What an absolute dirtbag. Apparently, in addition to obtaining these orders that effectively waived any DMV suspension, he also fabricated orders which suppressed the blood alcohol content and faxed them to DMV so that his clients who blew over a 0.15 wouldn't have to have an Interlock device.

Good job with Colon Willoughby and his office in uncovering this fraud, prosecuting and ultimately removing Judge Ruth from the bench, and in obtaining the guilty plea of Crouch.

If there were ANY doubt or possible defense, his attorney (same attorney as Greg Taylor) would have tried it rather than pleading his client guilty and hoping for the best on sentencing.

Crouch's wife is also a lawyer. They have plenty of funds for a good criminal trial. Fact is, he's guilty, he tried to cover it up during the investigation, and he outright lied about and forged court documents. I hope that extra $750 per case was worth your reputation and the damage to your future and probably to your marriage.

***dollibug, one thing I have learned over the years is that there are at least two sides to every story. Furthermore, if you have two attorneys in a room there will be at least three opinions.

You are correct..there are at least 2 sides to each and every case/story. Again I can assure you that there was *NO EVIDENCE presented* when my son was indicated *TWICE* by the GRAND JURY..http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-813288 this link might provide you with more information about just what took place.

It took over 2 years but all criminal charges were finally *dismissed*..I guess this when the grand saga had *completed its cycle*..since there was really never any case of any crime, to begin with...just a lot of money, time and effort wasted on *nothing*...this is the AMERICAN WAY of how things work/OR NOT.

By the way, I would have also loved to hear the *other side of this story too*, but I do not even think there was one..it is hard to *make something out of nothing*, you know?
