New election, new judge, is anything really going to change inside the Hidalgo County Courthouse no matter who gets elected? Not very likely. It’s still a matter of who you know, not who you are when it comes to simple justice. As to the merits of your case? As Tony Soprano used to say in that strong Italian accent of his – forget about it.
I’m seen cases inside the Hidalgo County Courthouse go by that would curl anyone’s toes. The judges are too tied to some of the attorneys. Everyone knows it. The fix is already in.
If I look at their last campaign finance report, and find out the attorney for the winning side was one of the judge’s biggest campaign donors, shouldn’t that matter?
