This “write it down" the Honorable Judge Douglas Sasser mentions is nowhere in the law or North Carolina General Statutes. It is highly burdensome on magistrates that often work long shifts. It does however suit the judge’s purpose. Judge Sasser does not tell you that he has told magistrates that they had "better use more unsecured bonds" and neither will he tell you that "2.5" magistrates must be let go by years end. Now he has much say so as to which magistrates stay or which ones must go, so says Sandra Lewis, the head magistrate. So once again it has been stressed that if magistrates would like to keep the job, the ones that do not follow "the good Judge's wishes" payback will come for 2.5 of them-just like it has obviously came for Mark Cartret and anyone else that speaks out. The magistrates are not stupid and are only trying to feed their families. No one agrees with releasing(free of bail) such as has been unleashed on this community since the 1st of May.
