There are already a few cases being investigated for Constitutional violations concerning some questionable pleas.

Not a good bet for someone voters want a judge. Kephart has been part of the problem with the Nevada justice system as it is, and brings no solution to the table except more of the same.

He has problems with ethics and has been caught in lies as an officer of the court on deals he went back on.

There's proof in federal possession, so no need for debate.

The statutes are twisted for the advantage of the officials and backed by the Supreme Court who twist them.

People have to realize that Nevada officials are crooks who could care less about the law unless the feds are sniffing around or its election time...and even then they go into appearance mode and stall for time until things cool off then they go back to the same old pattern and practice of corruption.

NOW the bastards want to over turn term limits against the will of Nevada voters so they can continue serving 'just us' at the expense of taxpayers.

Sucks doesnt it!!!

Let us all help to ensure the pendulum continues to sway in the other (ethical) direction for decades to come. We've got a lot of catching up to do. We should have ZERO tolerance for any nonsense--even minor nonsense--like using the copyrighted State Seal on the dog catcher's, or anyone else's, campaign advertisements.

BTW, given his challenges with the legal concepts of copyrights and intellectual property, I do believe that Kephart would make a fine dog catcher.

'Ethics and Integrity

We've all read the headlines. Too many of our judges face ethics and even criminal charges.



As an experienced prosecutor, William "Bill" Kephart has always upheld the highest ethical standards. And as a District Court Judge, Kephart will bring integrity to the bench.



The Rule of Law

As Chief Deputy District Attorney, Kephart believes that the "rule of law" should govern our judges, as well as our citizens.'



For a justice system that fails to follow even its own laws it figures

nvkorruption wrote on April 12, 2008 04:10 PM: Kephart has advanced on the back of coerced plea agreements involving indigents and a close relationship (in conflict of interest) with the public defender.

In essence..he is a contributor and supporter for the violation of Constitutional Law particularly involving indigents.

This guy is scum.

As a judge he will be no different in his support and practice of cutting corners to convict indigents at the expense of indigent's constitutional rights.

This guy no matter what does not deserve a future by being more of the same corrupt justice that needs to be eliminated in Nevada.

He is already on the radar as a potential Cherry, Saitta, and just us' corrupt officials.

This isnt just a rant...connect the dots...dig into his case history and relations in conflict of interest.

Ask him about his professional relationship with the deceased public defender Catherine Ann Woolf...look into her track record as well.

DO NOT SUPPORT KEPHART!!!!!

Rodman wrote on April 12, 2008 10:58 AM: Boy, here's the three blind mice; Kephart, Walsh, and Roger and anyone who would believe what any of the three say needs to suffer through each of them, God forbid, being elected again. As far as anyone filing a complaint with the ethics commission forget that as they (the ethics commission) have proved to many times that they are under worked, worthless, stupid and over paid people who should be terminated and the commission abolished in the name of the states needed budget cuts. Finally it would seem to me that there are more important issues to be concerned with and write about, but I guess Morrison handles only that she is capable of handling.

The state seal is a public logo for a public entity. We paid to design it, we should be able to use it anyway we want. Whether we are a candidate, a political bigshot, or just a regular joe like me. Just my $.02

Contempt wrote on April 12, 2008 09:57 AM: In the best of Brave New World double-speak, Jesse Walsh states "You'd think a person running for judge would know and follow the law." WOW!. Jesse Walsh had a series of articles done on her by the Review Journal when she was flagrantly violating the law by placing individuals in custody for contempt without anything in the law permitting her to do so.

Jesse Walsh deprived people of their liberty for no reason, other than, perhaps, her bailiff suggested it?
