Judicial Justice to Meet May 3

Judicial Justice for Larimer County

Monday, May 3, 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Ben Delatour Room
Main Library, 201 Peterson Street
Fort Collins, CO

This first public outreach meeting of Judicial Justice for Larimer County will introduce the group to the public, and launch the public effort to prevent the retention of Judges Blair and Gilmore.

The Judicial Justice meeting will be a week after the 8th Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance hearing. Please see this Fort Collins Coloradoan page for the complete details on that event if you want to attend or submit a letter.

Judge Jolene Blair, Judge Terence Gilmore

Of course, their conduct in the Tim Masters case, when they were deputy district attorneys, should have been enough to trigger, in both of them, the impulse to quit, resign, give it up, pack it in, hang their heads, and slink away in shame for what they have done to the people of Larimer County.

In February 2008, Special Prosecutor Don Quick released his report about how the actions of Blair and Gilmore impacted the Tim Masters case. An explanation of what Quick's team found, along with a much more complete explanation of what should have been found, is here.

Then in September 2008, both of these former prosecutors, now judges, were publicly censured by the regulatory office of the state Supreme Court for failing to act with reasonable diligence in their capacity as lawyers in the Masters case. They avoided hearings by striking a settlement deal. For Gilmore, this was the second time around. He had received a private censure in 1994, because of his failure to disclose vital information to a defense attorney.

If you have received unjust treatment from Gilmore or Blair, or know someone who has, your experience belongs here. Please respond in the Comments section. Or contact the blog coordinator for your story to be told. If someone with a story to tell is not a good writer, or doesn't have internet access, the story can be told over the phone, transcribed into print, and published here.

Please contact blog coordinator Pat Hartman to make arrangements judjust@gmail.com

I haven't read up on this one yet but it sounds like another case of business as usual in Larimer County.
