As the blog noted, the likelihood of a case being reversed on appeal is greater for criminal cases than civil cases. If Moberly had done a disproportionate number of criminal cases during her tenure on the court, it could account for the higher reversal rate. I know she handles civil cases exclusively now as Marion County's judges are assigned either to the civil or criminal division. I'm not sure how long she worked in the criminal division. I believe David has been a judge about as long as her. I'm not sure how their caseloads compare, but I'm guessing he doesn't have the assistance of the commissioners to help him with his caseload like the Marion County judges do. Mulvaney has been dinged by some because he hasn't tried any cases before a jury, but as practicicing attorneys know, there is much more to the practice of law than just being a trial lawyer. He is by far the most knowledgeable of the candidates on appellate law and procedures and the inner workings of the appellate courts in Indiana. Each of the three candidates offers a unique perspective. Any of the three are qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. I can tell you, though, that becoming a trial court judge in Marion County has nothing to do with your qualifications. It is a corrupt, political system we have here and a major embarrassment to our state's judiciary. Sometimes some good judges are produced from the system, but it also puts a lot of people on the bench who members of the bar would never choose to sit on the bench. The Indiana Bar Association has long advocated a merit selection system for Marion County, but as long as the political hacks are still calling the shots, we will only elect judges to the bench in Marion County from both parties who the respective party leaders believe they have in their back pockets. That is not in any way intended to impugn Moberly, but any objective observer will tell you generally how true that characterization is.Gary R.

However, I think comparing number of cases a judge has had appealed and the number of times they have been reversed to be a somewhat silly method of determining their suitability for an appellate court. It could say a lot more about the number, uniqueness and difficulty of cases that the judge was handling and the local bar than it says about the competence of the judge. <br /><br />Let's use the analogy of an Oncologist. Do you consider an Oncologist at Mayo Clinic to be a worse doctor than one practicing at a small no name hospital in Lebanon, Indiana because the doctor at Mayo Clinic loses a higher percentage of patients than the one in Lebanon? I would hope not since the doctor at Mayo Clinic gets more cases and worse cancer cases than his associate practicing in the sticks. (I live in Boone County by the way so I can say it is the sticks.)<br /><br />Finally, you toss around the word "err" concerning cases Moberly has had over ruled as if that is a word seldom used in an appellate decision. Save it for legal laymen. In an appellate case a judge either "errs" or "does not err." When an appellate court says that a judge has erred it does not imply that the judge is incompetent - if it did then every time a judge is overturned by a higher court he should be tossed out of office - boy, would we be looking at some judicial turn over then.Marvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927337728843826560noreply@blogger.com
