"Ermea EJ Russell", Loses Election -- KARMA???

(Perhaps, now that it's over and Ermea is no longer a sitting judge up for election .... The Mississippi Bar Review Board will finally complete their investigation and render a decision)


Here's the link ... I don't want to revel in her lost ... but here's the link to the election results

Russell loses!

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Vicksburg lawyer Ceola James has beaten incumbent Mississippi Court of Appeals Judge Ermea J. Russell of Flora

James' 8-year term begins in January.

James was a chancery court judge from 1999 to 2002. She ran unsuccessfully for the Court of Appeals in 2010 and the Mississippi Supreme Court in 2008.

Russell was appointed to the court in May 2011 by then-Gov. Haley Barbour, but had never sought election in the court's second district, which runs south along the Mississippi River from Tunica County, stretching into parts of Jackson.

Russell was the first black woman judge on the court, while James would be the second. Russell served as Hinds County circuit judge, attorney for then-Lt. Gov. Eddie Briggs in 1992 and the state Senate's top administrator from 1993 to 1996.
