“Keith will make an outstanding judge,” said Baird. “And I think judges across Texas share that view, though most can’t endorse him if they are subject to assignment.” Texas judges who are in active judicial service are ethically prohibited from endorsing other judges and judicial candidates.

“We need a fresh voice on the Court, and Keith is that voice,” said Baird. “While Keller escaped removal by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct and impeachment by the Legislature, she will not be and should not be rewarded with re-election by Texas voters.”

Judge Charlie Baird is a former judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals from 1990-1998. He also served as a visiting justice on the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Texas Courts of Appeals, and later as the presiding judge of the 299^th District Court. In addition, he was a visiting professor at Texas Tech University School of Law, Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, and South Texas College of Law.

Hampton is running against Judge Sharon Keller, the incumbent judge who was condemned by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct and punished with the largest fine in Texas history by the Texas Ethics Commission for her actions in a death penalty case.

“I have known Keith almost his whole life,” said Hightower, who knows Keith from his hometown roots in his district (Burkburnett, Texas). “He was voted best qualified by my fellow lawyers and judges, and won Lawyer of the Year just in the last five years. He is an accomplished lawyer and legal scholar, and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t vote for him.”

Justice Hightower served the Texas Supreme Court for almost ten years before retiring. He has previously served as District Attorney, Texas State Senator, and Congressman for a North and West district spanning 33 counties, from Wichita Falls to Amarillo.

“Keith is exactly the opposite of a judge who would legislate from the bench,” said Hightower. “As a former lawmaker at both the Texas Legislature and Congress, I can confidently assure voters that Keith Hampton will respect the lawmaking process and would be an exemplar of judicial restraint.”

Former President Bill Clinton appointed Justice Hightower to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, and Hightower’s papers now reside in the Baylor Library, depositing over 2,700 autographed books from John Quincy Adams to George W. Bush.

Keith Hampton Campaign Launches VoteNoSharonKeller.com

AUSTIN, TX – Today, Keith Hampton, candidate for Presiding Judge on the Court of Criminal Appeals launched a website to remind voters of Sharon Keller’s lethal behavior on the court.

“It is important that voters remember Keller’s history of abusing constitutional rights of defendants,” said Hampton. “As the highest criminal court in Texas, the decisions made here are literally life and death, and Sharon Keller continues to stand on the wrong side of history.”

The website focuses on the cases, opinions, and ethics complaints throughout Keller’s career on the Court of Criminal Appeals.

Two cases of note are the Michael Richard and Roy Criner cases. In the Richard case, Keller famously told a death-sentenced inmate’s lawyers, “We close at 5 p.m.” to their appeal filing. In the Criner case, Keller dismissed two DNA tests that proved Criner’s DNA was not at the scene of the crime. When asked how someone would prove their innocence if DNA wasn’t enough, Keller responded,”I don’t know. I don’t know.”

In addition to Keller’s court behavior, she faced a record $100,000 fine for withholding millions in personal assets from the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC).

“Not only did Keller lie to the TEC, but she did so when asking that the Judicial Conduct Commission (ultimately taxpayers) to pay for her legal fees during her defense of the Richard case,” said Hampton. “Keller is the moral compass of the court as Presiding Judge, it doesn’t get much worse.”
