Albuquerque attorney John Wayne Higgins usually defends drunk drivers.
On Wednesday night he had the right to remain silent; instead he acted as his own attorney and tried to defend himself. [He was arrested for drunk driving.]
You may recall John Wayne Higgins. In 1998, John Wayne Higgins ran for Bernalillo County Probate Court Judge. With no probate experience, he ran against Ira Robinson and Merri Rudd. In a three-way race, Ira Robinson ("Family matters.") won. Two years later, Robinson ran for the State Court of Appeals. His victory created the vacancy that finally brought Merri Rudd to the office she was made for.
Imagine the drunk DWI attorney as probate judge. How do such people think they qualify to run for a particular office? It’s an insult to the public.
PS: Ira Robinson left the State Court of Appeals, for, ahem, personal reasons.
