Judge Who?
Every judicial election, it's always the same: most voters really know nothing about any of the names listed on the ballot for Judge of the Superior Court. The folks at the Los Angeles County Bar Association, though, go to pretty great lengths to inform the electorate by ranking the candidates after interviews and investigations. The candidates' ratings, biographies and pictures can be found at the LACBA Web site here.
In addition, our editorial board is expected to make its recommendations in tomorrow's Daily Breeze.
It's not often that there is any controversy to the judicial elections. This year, however, a Carson minister ruffled some feathers with a write-in campaign aimed at incumbents with Hispanic surnames on the June 3 ballot. However, it appears that campaign has failed.

Larry Altman has covered crime in the South Bay since 1990. He's seen it all - the missing model who turned up dead in the desert, the wives found dead in trunks, the high-school coaches who get a little too close to their players. He drives his young colleagues nuts with his "I remember when" stories. He welcomes your tips and observations about the present, and you can mix in a little Lakers basketball talk if you like.
