He has always been courteous & professional in my dealings with him in court. He is prompt, prepared & has always treated attorneys with respect in court. He is well qualified for re-election & is compassionate to the victims he deals with.

Judge Deason is a lier. He's not a man of his word. He tells you one thing and then turns around and does the opposite. He is a disgrace to the judicial system and should not be allowed to serve.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Black-robed prosecutor who thoroughly enjoys tormenting young attorneys. Has no place on the bench.

This man shouldn't be a judge.

Unfortunately, Judge Deason seems unable to comprehend anything but the most simple legal concepts, and therefore allows himself to be lead around by the nose. Sadly, he fails to chose a competent, knowledgeable attorney to hold the reins.

For example, instead of learning the law in a case, he chose to accept as true everything one attorney said even though that attorney was,unfortunately, wrong and unethical to boot. Actually, the attorney's comments amounted to testimony!

Then Deason signed a journal entry prepared by that attorney even though the JE failed to include all the issues
in the case and was so ambiguous it ended up back in court to litigate the terms of the JE !

Sometimes,Deason becomes angry at the attorneys but then takes it out on their client by issuing inequitable rulings.

As said above, he shouldn't be on the bench.

He is a former long-term prosecutor. He knows the law and applies it fairly and equally to all.
