Anna Mills Wagoner, the former U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, was elected as a Superior Court Judge for Rowan County, North Carolina on Tuesday. She garnered 55% of the vote, defeating two other challengers. Marshall Bickett was appointed District Court judge in 2007 and elected in 2008. He has served 32 years in various positions in the court system in Rowan County. David Bingham is a Salisbury lawyer who opened his practice there in 1983. Wagoner was U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina but resigned in August to run for the judge's seat. The Salisbury resident is a former District Court judge in Rowan. She is well-known for doing nothing about the attempted frame-up in the Duke lacrosse case. She sat on her hands while the constitutional rights of Duke students Evans, Seligmann and Finnerty were violated by former DA Mike Nifong, the Durham Police Department and Duke University. Rather than intervene, it has been reported that she helped block an inquiry by the U.S. Department of Justice into the case that was being pursued by current N.J. Gov. Chris Christie, who was then a U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.

By failing to act in the Duke case, Ms. Wagoner took the easy way out-- not ruffling any feathers of her fellow prosecutors and judges and blocking a federal probe of the corrupt North Carolina justice system. Now that Ms. Wagoner is back on the North Carolina judicial bench in Rowan County, she can cavort with her fellow North Carolina judges at the country club, drinking mint juleps or whatever her favorite libation.
