Judge John Kemp Jr. of Mountain View, AR; arrogant loser
The state of Arkansas presented John Dan Kemp Jr. with a law license in 1996 after he graduated from the University of Arkansas Law School.
Johnny has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough over the past forty years (1976 to 2016). Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the Baxter County area was about to offer Johnny a good paying job.
In fact, if it wasn’t for a government check, Johnny would likely be relegated to working as a greeter at the Walmart Supercenter at 409 Sylamore Avenue in Mountain View.
In mid-February 2016, attorney Matt Campbell who runs the Blue Hog Report blog filed an ethics complaint against Johnny with the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission. The complaint centered around Johnny’s handling of a criminal case in 2015 and his recent (2016) statements regarding that case.
Johnny has the temerity to ask the Arkansas voters to elect him as Chief Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. He is running for the position against sitting Associate Justice Courtney Goodson.
Attorney Campbell’s ethics complaint makes the following claims:
Shortly after the ethics complaint was filed, Johnny’s campaign put out the following false statement on his behalf.
Ms. Finn was treated exactly the same as “any other first time drug offender.”
All that’s left now is to what if anything the Supreme Court does in regards to punishing Johnny for his egregious misconduct.
Hopefully, the voters in Arkansas will be wise enough to not vote for this congenital liar when it votes for Chief Justice in November 2016.
As we speak (ca. July 2007), Johnny continues to sit as a District Court judge in Mountain View, Arkansas, which is located in Baxter County. |
