Will Motlow Ideal to Fill Vacancy

 

Come January 1st, current district judge Carole Medley will become the newest circuit court judge for Lauderdale County. Who will fill her current shoes?

We know that Lauderdale probate judge Will Motlow has expressed interest in the position. It will be up to Gov. Ivey to make the selection; however, we can't think of anyone who deserves the judgeship more.

Good luck to both Judge Medley and Judge Motlow in 2025!

A reader has asked about the number of Latinos who appear on Most Wanted lists. We infer that those originally from south of the border find it easiest to escape their crimes, therefore they remain on these lists longer than their homegrown counterparts who have deep roots in the areas in which they were arrested.

Our blog has not highlighted one wanted felon over another, but published them as the government agency has posted them. If you have a problem with these lists (Tishomingo County, for instance, lists only two wanted and both are Latino), you need to contact the office that created the list.
