Former teacher-coach convicted of sexual battery against a student. Perverts like this are attracted to jobs where they gain power over children, and government schools provide the perfect opportunity for them.

Matt Heck's wife, a municipal court judge, gets in catfight with Vandalia prosecutor, banning her from her courtroom because the prosecutor asked about a rumor the judge got pulled over after drinking and received special treatment from police.

"“I was told she wanted me fired by the end of the day,” said Turrell, who acknowledged asking someone if the rumor was true after she heard it last week."

But this is just the latest incident.

"This is not the first time Turrell and Heck have clashed, and Turrell’s personnel file contains a 2011 reprimand from Anderson after an incident between Turrell and Heck on April 6, 2011. Details of the incident were not included but the memo indicates there were others present and that Turrell admitted to Anderson that she should not have “walked out” of the judge’s office the way she did."

And these people are supposedly worried about justice.

"Turrell said the incident was a meeting at which Heck told her she could no longer handle trials in Heck’s courtroom, but would be allowed to handle pre-trial matters or appear before municipal magistrates. Heck said “she didn’t like my facial expressions,” said Turrell."

You can't make this stuff up. I wonder if these two have been tugging each other's hair since high school.

"A Dayton Daily News reporter reviewed Turrell’s personnel file on Wednesday and found that it contains no written performance evaluations, which are public records under state law. Turrell said she has received written evaluations and is not sure why they are not in her file."

That's interesting.

Oakwood schools named ninth least bad schools.

The amount of money spent by candidates seems to be important.
