For The Second Time in the DA's Race, Hatchett Gets The Axe

Two candidates including long-time DA wannabe Steve Hatchett, lost to their opponent despite having many times more road-side placards.  In the past, Hatchett admitted that his ability to hold the public trust was "time-limited" so if elected, he would only serve two terms.  That was one of the most absurd comments ever heard from anyone seeking public office, much less from a member of the legal profession.  


In a bid to unseat Criminal Court Judge Sandra Donaghy, her opponent in the race "Rush to Judgement" Paul Rush likely had 10 times more road signs;  but nevertheless, he lost the election.  The disciplinary actions against Rush by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility while he was an assistant DA under DA Bebb, is still fresh in the  public's memory.
