Late last week, Judge Jerry Jolly issued an order halting David's proposal to create an administrative traffic court that would have many young people entered into a StreetSafe program, since the organizer of that program, Doug Darrell, contributed to David's campaign for district attorney.
David issued a statement late Monday, saying, "On April 15, 2011 Judge Jerry Jolly issued an Administrative Order which stated that I engaged in grossly inappropriate behavior that brought the criminal justice system into disrepute. No hearing was held on this matter and the Court's findings of fact are wildly inaccurate. I categorically deny that I have done anything wrong, and I welcome the opportunity to explain my actions at the appropriate time. On today's date, I delivered a letter to Judge Jolly which outlined my position. I will not make another public comment on this matter until I receive his response, or until the deadline has passed that I specified in my letter. In the meantime, I ask the community to reserve judgment until all of the facts are revealed."
