WILL PEOPLE REMAIN PASSIVE AND “SCARED,” OR WILL THEY SEIZE THE DAY?
by Sharon Rondeau(Apr. 19, 2011) — This morning The Post & Email contacted the office of Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper, Jr., about the widespread, endemic corruption in his state, particularly within the judiciary. As soon as the person answering the phone knew we were from the media, she transferred us to the voice mail of someone named Sharon. We left a detailed voice message about the jury-rigging, falsified court documents, dishonest judges, violent sheriff’s deputies, and criminal sheriffs about whom we have published numerous reports over the last nine months. We asked for a call back or to set up a time for an interview which would be recorded.
The Tennessee attorney general is appointed by the Supreme Court of that state. Tennessee is the only state which selects an attorney general in this manner.
The website for the Tennessee attorney general states:
The Attorney General is in a real sense the lawyer for every citizen in the state, asserting the people’s rights under the constitution and the laws and protecting them from those who would violate those rights. Through our vigorous prosecution of criminal cases in the appellate courts, this office continues the pursuit of justice on behalf of victims whose rights have been violated by the criminal acts of others.
My staff and I are committed to providing appellate information and assistance to crime victims with compassion and respect. –Attorney General Robert E. Cooper, Jr.
Tennessee is the only state in which the state Supreme Court appoints the attorney general, and the term is eight years.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
