| Although it's not clear in the local press, the Court of Criminal Appeals has issued its Certificate of Judgment, the formal order for Daniel Wade Moore to be retried. It gives jurisdiction of the case back to Judge Glenn Thompson. The State has filed motion for recusal with Judge Thompson, as per protocol. Thompson is expected to have a hearing to consider the recusal motion. |

| The ball remains in Judge Glenn Thompson's Court, where it has been sitting for the last two months. The motions for bail and for recusal remain unanswered. Mr. Powell's much-publicized appeal to the Supreme Court of Alabama never happened. And Sue Bell Cobb, who praised Thompson's unlawful ruling to free dwm, wants to be Alabama's Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Decatur Daily endorses her, of course. |
| By the way, I'm very happy to be living in North Carolina. |
| Catherine Halbrooks is running against Shelly Slate Waters for District Judge. Halbrooks' primary credential is having represented Daniel Wade Moore, a case in which she succeeded only in getting her client to death row. |
