Mr. Moses Carey <br /> October 6, 1993 <br /> Page Two <br /> and is a fire hazard for that reason in addition to the number of <br /> people it can accommodate. <br /> I would hope that a meeting of the facilities committee <br /> would engender some support for additional safety precautions in <br /> the existing Courtrooms and certainly in a new Courtroom. It was <br /> my unfortunate experience this past week in Chatham County to be <br /> confronted by an incredibly angry defendant, who screamed so <br /> loudly that he has damaged my hearing and came very close to <br /> assaulting me and perhaps others in the Courtroom. It was a very <br /> frightening experience and I hope that we can prevent its <br /> recurrence either here or in Chatham County. <br /> As you know we are not utilizing the old Courthouse <br /> appropriately and I would hope that we could reconsider the <br /> various possibilities to include that Courthouse in our <br /> scheduling. The Courthouse in which I reside continues to have <br /> very serious roof problems, and the leaking roof has damaged some <br /> very old Court records. <br /> All of these problems that I have enumerated, I hope, will <br /> encourage you to call a meeting of your committee once again. <br /> I really appreciate the yeoman work that Pam Jones has done <br /> for us, we are so grateful and want to help her in any way we <br /> can. <br /> Most Sincerely yours, <br /> Patricia S. Love <br /> Chief District Court Judge <br /> PSL/mh <br /> cc : The Honorable F . Gordon Battle <br /> The Honorable Stanley Peele <br /> The Honorable Lowry Betts <br />
