Why did she not attnd the hearing? She knows the truth and did not what to hear it all again.

I bet both of them think they are squeaky clean. In their own mind

cline deserves a second chance. You out there would want someone to give you a second chance. Right?

She definitely does not deserve a second chance as a lawyer. As a lawyer you have the ability to save/ruin peoples lives and her actions were unforgiveable. hiding evidence and with holding damaging evidence to the prosecution from the defense is incredibly irresponsible and immoral. She got what she deserved and the people of Durham are better off for it. When you have a position as powerful and important as hers you do not deserve a second chance when you make huge ethical and moral mistakes and violations while

Its amazing so many of you think she did something wrong. I'm sure he did everything she said he did. You think any sitting Judge is going to admit that another sitting Judge did something wrong?That hearing was a waste of time. Next time the Police Dept is accused of brutality why don't they just let the Sheriff Dept determine if they did anything wrong?

Don't be like Cline and just make stuff up... provide something concrete against Hudson.

seankelly15 February 13, 2013 6:13 p.m.______________________ Just wondering, didn't the court of appeals ruled against his ruling on that case?

A woman calls out behavior by a judge and she gets castigated. Wow, only in NC!!

She filed motions that she KNEW to be false and used her previous relationship with Judge Hardin to get him to sign them. Even IF her statements about Hudson is deemed to be free speech, she did plenty of other things that brought the Durham DA's office into disrepute.

faycop4ncstate - " however it would seem to be protected speech for someone to reasonably form the opinion that a judge who constantly makes legal decisions wholly inconsistent with statute and established case law in the favor of criminal defendants that results in dismissal of serious felony charges is corrupt. Has Judge Hudson been investigated? Does he care to provide an explanation as to why he can’t seem to understand basic statutes and legal principles despite being the Resident Superior Court Judge?"

You are as daft as she is. Name ONE instance where "statute and established case law" was not observed by Hudson. And, don't bring up the cremation story - it has been explained to you why what Cline did was wrong and because of what she did she left Hudson with no choice but to dismiss the case. Don't be like Cline and just make stuff up... provide something concrete against Hudson.

All a bunch of lawyers trying to out-yell the others.

bottom line-in this state, the boss has the right to fire you-and she was fired-end of way too costly story.

Nope! Stick a fork in it!
