Bill Moore - Republican Speaks: TAYLOR: How important is good leadership during times of crisis? MOORE: No response to this question. TAYLOR: Do you consider yourself to be a leader? If so, in what way? MOORE: No response to this question. TAYLOR: Other than yourself, who is the most effective leader you know alive today? MOORE: No response to this question. TAYLOR: Why should Harris County-area voters choose you on Tuesday, November 4th? MOORE: My entire 20-year legal career has been spent as an advocate for crime victims and their families here in Harris County as a prosecutor. I have tried over 100 jury trials, and have served as a Felony Chief Prosecutor in three Harris County Criminal District Courts handling murder and capital murder cases. I served 10 years as a Special Crimes prosecutor gaining extensive experience handling complex financial frauds and organized crime cases. In 2002 I was awarded a Houston Police Department Commendation for the successful prosecution of 22 organized crime cases following a two year undercover sting operation. I believe a Criminal District Court Judge should be fair to both the State and the Defense, listen to both sides, and fairly apply the law applicable in each case. I believe it is extremely important for a Criminal District Court Judge to have some experience as an advocate for crime victims and their families. A good judge needs to be aware of what crime victims are going through, and at the same time see that each criminal defendant receives a fair trial. In an effort to avoid any appearance of impropriety, I have pledged not to accept political contributions from lawyers who practice criminal law in the Harris County Criminal District Courts. |
