Thirteen candidates filed to run for one judgeship vacated recently by Judge Jim Wynn before a one-week filing period ended late Tuesday afternoon. Five signed up on the final day.

The candidates include Cressie Thigpen, whom Gov. Bev Perdue chose to replace Wynn through December, former Court of Appeals Judge Doug McCullough and former state Labor Commissioner Harry Payne.

The number of candidates means voters must use instant runoff voting to choose a winner on Nov. 2. The voters rank their top three candidates in order of preference. Second-place votes are counted if no one gets a majority of first-place votes.

In the other three contested Court of Appeals races, Anne Marie Calabria is running against Wake County District Judge Jane Gray to hold onto her seat, and incumbent Martha A. Geer faces a challenge from Dean R. Poirier, an appeals referee with the N.C. Employment Security Commission. Steven Walker, a legal clerk at the N.C. Supreme Court, is challenging Court of Appeals Judge Rick Elmore. Judge Sanford A. Steelman Jr. is unopposed.

N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue must decide whether to sign new legislation into law after the N.C. Senate voted 47-0 to give final approval for new laws imposing stiffer penalties for those so violent that they would torture, starve, or kill an animal.

The punishment could be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service instead.

The bill was introduced after a Greensboro man received probation after burning, beating and leaving his 8-week-old puppy to die.

The female pit-bull mix was later             adopted and named Susie.

via Senate OKs stronger law for animal abuse.

 

Update: On June 23, 2010,  Governor Be Perdue signed Susie’s Law, making tougher penalties for those who abuse animals.
