Incumbent Chief Judge Sylvia
James will face challenger Sabrina
Johnson for a six-year term at the
22ndDistrict Court in Inkster.
The two were the top vote get-
ters in the primary election last
Tuesday. James received 25.68 per-
cent of the votes cast and was the
top vote getter with a total of 814.
Johnson had the second highest
total votes with 615 or 19.40 percent
of the votes cast.
Voters will choose between the
two candidates for the $138,272 a
year job during the Nov. 6 General
Election.
James will be vying for her fifth
term at the court. She was first
elected in 1988 and continued to
serve in one of the busiest district
courts in the state until she was
removed from the bench last year
while amisconduct hearing against
her was under way. Shewas recent-
ly sentenced by the Michigan
Supreme Court for misuse of the
court community fund, violating
nepotismrules at the court and hir-
ing a magistrate who was unquali-
fied for the position. The Supreme
Court justices ruled that she could
not return to the bench during this
uncompleted term and must repay
more than $80,000.
Judge Richard Hammer of the
21st District Court in Garden City
has been handling cases at the
Inkster court during the miscon-
duct proceedings against James.
James has never been charged
with any criminal wrongdoing as a
result of the investigation by the
Michigan Judicial Tenure
Commission, where the original
complaint against herwasmade.
That complaint followed a dis-
pute between James and Inkster
Mayor Hilliard Hampton regarding
access to the court checking
accounts and failure of the city to
pay court bills in a timely manner.
James and Hampton also did not
agree on a new charter for the city
proposed by the mayor. James sent
a letter to voters opposing the
strong mayor form of government
that Hampton proposed for the
community some years ago.
Byron H. Nolen received 531
votes for the judicial position, fol-
lowed by Jo A. Irby who garnered
386 votes. D. Eason collected 273
votes, Teresa McClain Patton
received 182 votes, Brandi N.
Taylor received 115 votes and there
were six write-in votes, although
those nameswere notmade public.
Johnson, 45, is a 1985 graduate
of Cherry Hill High School in
Inkster. She earned her degree at
Michigan State University and
graduated from Wayne State
University School of Law. She is a
former Wayne County assistant
prosecutor and public defender
who has worked in the 22nd
District Court.
James is also currently
embroiled in a lawsuit filed by her
former court administrator.
James is top vote getter on court ballot
from people all over the country and over-
seas about him. He touched so many lives,”
she said.
Mr. Rosewas a 2002 graduate of Plymouth
Canton High School and was pursuing a
degree in graphic arts atNovi Art Institute.
“He had done a charcoal drawing, a self
portrait nearly 6-feet long, and the dean
from the school brought it to us,” Christine
Rose said. “They are going to take it back,
have it framed and hang it with a plaque as a
memorial to Eric at the college. He was very
talented.”
Mr. Rose was a member of the USA Tae
Kwan Do Junior Olympic Team in 2001 and
had trainedwith some of the best known ath-
letes in the field.
“The members of the Olympic team have
been texting us from London and some of
them are holding signs up for Chris during
their events,” Christine Rose said. “He knew
somany of them, trainedwith them.”

Sept. 16, 1984, is survived by his father,
