West Va Justice System Called All Wrong by Court
Huntington December 18. Cabell county common pleas court rules that a state law requiring justices of the peace to accrue fine money for the general school fund to cover their fees is unconstitutional. Judge H. Clay Worth says the rule makes justices interested parties in misdemeanor outcomes. The ruling excludes felony and civil fees, and follows a claim by former justice John H. Davis for $300. Ongoing lawsuits challenge a justice’s authority in misdemeanors and constable fees for out-of-district work.
