Group aims to unseat county judge Paula Martin
A new coalition in Douglas County seeks to defeat Judge Paula Martin in the retention election. Members allege a pattern of lenient sentencing and seek a broader look at her 15,000 cases over a decade while defending their claims with a list of criticized decisions. The group has raised about $1,000 and plans more education for voters, denying one case-focused framing.
