68th District Court Candidate Glenn Cotton target of an order by Genesee Probate Judge Jennie Barkey. 10/04/12."IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT a bench warrant shall be issued for Attorney Glenn Cotton due to his failure to appear as ordered by this court on August 29,2012. The bench warrant was issued regarding Glen Cotton 10/04/12.
UPDATE 10/09/12 GOOD MORNING FLINT reported this public information last week. Yesterday Candidate Cotton informed Good Morning Flint there is no bench warrant as he was exiting Judge Barkeys Court Rom. The original artificia follows. The last entry of the Genesee County Probate Court still shows the following in this case at 5:30 am on 10/09/12.. 123 BW 10/04/2012 30405,BENCH WARRANT ISSUED REGARDING ATTY GLEN COTTON
Attorney Cotton is supported by some very powerful people in his bid to unseat two excellent District Court Judges Wiliam Crawford and Herman Marable. The story is the Judge issued the order. Do we have a right to knowwhy it was issued and why it was set aside?
This is the Judge Barkey ORDER 10/04/12
I am a blogger who happens to be a lawyer with Press Credentials and an active member of the Michigan Blogging Community.I am a past Flint Municipal Ombudsman and advocate of free speech and a free press. This is not new to me. I am not commercial medial. I am not neutral. Blogging is opinion.Here I am just distributing the public record.Concerning the Bench warrant for Glen Cotton the story is the bench warrant targeted at a lawyer who is also a candidate for 68th District Court. I do not support his candidacy and prefer others. It was conveyed to me this event was happening so to be accurate I walked to the court and obtained a copy of the Order from the Court. There is plenty of innuendo as to why the Judge issued the Order essentially for this attorney Cottons arrest but I am not speculating.
In the Honorable Judge Barkeys order was the following.
" This matter came to be heard before the Court for a Review and Evidentiary Hearing. Attorneys Craig Wright and Lawrence Acker appeared. Annie Lee also appeared. Attorney Glenn Cotton Failed to appear as ordered, and for the reasons stated on the record and with the Court being other wise fully informed in the premises."
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT a Bench Warrant shall be issued for attorney Glen Cotton due to his failure to appear as ordered by this Court on August 29,2012." [Incorrect spelling of Glenn in the order]
The Genesee County Web site titled Probate Public Access allows part of the probate record to be viewed by the public . In this case 10189584 I looked at the record. I have printed 30 pages from this source you should be able to do that also by going to the following link. http://www.co.genesee.mi.us/cgi-bin/gweb.exe?mode=5250&sessionname=probatenew
If you scroll to the end the last page the entry " 123 BW 10/04/2012 BENCH WARRANT ISSUED REGARDING ATTORNEY GLEN COTTON" I would call this public information that may impact voter opinion. Do the voters of Flint have a right to know about this? Should this have been kept quite until after the election?
The following are entry number on this public court record. They are numbered you can look at the ones I list for accuracy and the ones I skipped to double check me.
