The race for Bossier and Webster Parish District Judge is on and the incumbent, Judge Burchett, is long overdue to be replaced. He has demonstrated his lack of concern for determining the truth through his unprovoked ranting and his wandering, incoherent rulings that sometimes fail to even address the issues on which he was to rule. His ads speak of his judicial temperament, when in fact those who have appeared before him see that he is easily agitated and completely put out by having to listen to a case.
Since appearing before him in a civil matter, I have researched his background and found that his behavior in my particular case was not isolated and was in fact quite normal for him. He failed to pay attention to most of the arguments and at times seemed to either be asleep or in a trance. He didn't rule until weeks later, but then failed to address many of the key points in the case.
If you have not seen him in action, all I can say is do some research before casting a ballot for this man. Fairness and justice are not on the top of his priority list and we should all band together to make a change for the better.

Judge Dewey Burchett has served the people of Bossier and Webster Parishes from the Bench for the last twenty years. He received a B. S. degree from LSU in Baton Rouge, after which he was a pilot and instructor pilot in the USAF from 1962 to 1967. Following his military service he graduated from LSU Law School.
Judge Burchett served as City Attorney for Bossier City and as Secretary/Attorney for the Bossier Levee Board. He currently teaches seminars on legal subjects to judges, lawyers and law enforcement officers.
Judge Burchett has been married for 41 years to his wife Pat. The Burchetts have two sons and a granddaughter.
In the early 1980’s he traveled to Washington, DC to lobby Congress for funding for the locks and dams on Red River. Although he could have garnered some hefty legal fees for this service, he didn’t charge a dime. Judge Burchett understands public service for what it should be. He is an upstanding individual, an extremely capable Judge, and is deserving of our support to continue in that capacity.
Re-elect Judge Burchett.
Thanks for checking out my blog, Jim. I enjoy reading all of your blogs and appreciate your opinions on the local political campaigns. Keep up the good work.
I agree with Unleased. Burchett needs to go. His demeanor alone is reason enough, but some of his rulings are just ridiculous.
