Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can a Corona-positive person who does not want to self-quarantine demand a jury
trial? What actions can the government take to keep an infected person
quarantined?
How are the courts preparing for imposed quarantines? Dan recalls he
tuberculosis case he oversaw…
How would the jury/judge/others be medically protected if an infected person
insists on a jury trial?
Remember: You may not think you’ll be infected with the Coronavirus,
but someone you come in contact with could die from exposure and infection. Stay
home. Watch TV. Read books. Do puzzles. Homeschool your kids (and keep doing
it!) Order take-out or learn to cook a new dish. Go for a walk (keeping distance
from others!) And only go to the store for essential items.

Title: Voting Straight Ticket Matters - Especially in Judicial Races
Topic: Candidate Interviews
Discussed by Judge Dan Hinde
with Special Guest
If you wait until Election Day, it may raining cats and dogs and you’ll
probably skip voting. Your child or spouse could become sick. You might need to
work late. You might have an accident. You also can only vote within your
precinct that you are registered – not where you currently live. So why not just
vote early? It is so much easier!
Judge Hind also encourages voters to vote Straight Ticket Republican. Too many
voters only vote for the major statewide races like Governor and US Congress;
they might make it down to the State Reps and Comptroller or Railroad
Commissioner. They just don’t want to take the time to cast a vote in the
judicial races. Voting Straight Ticket Republican ensures that are county courts
will be run as ethically and morally as possible.
HOWEVER – When you cast your “R” vote, PLEASE remember to look at the bottom of
the ballot for any propositions, school board member races, and other
non-partisan races that may be on the ballot. Those are NOT included in the
Straight “R” vote.
REMEMBER – The elected officials at the bottom of the ballot have the most
impact on your community, your family, and even your kid’s school. So make sure
you review and cast a vote for EVERYONE on the ENTIRE ballot!
