If you talk of Mark lining his pockets and claim like in your other posting he is greedy< consider this:
In 2004 he, at his own expense(nearly $20,000) filed suit against another Columbus County Judge, Thomas Aldridge. Cartret filed on behalf of a poor black lady which the good judge, the da, and the sheriff had mistreated. Mark only lost after the NC Supreme Court cited he "lacked standing" which is a bull of a technicality. If the lady had of filed, the Judge would have been most likely disbarred. Corruption runs rampant in Columbus but one thing is for sure, the Mark Cartret I know is not greedy. It is very easy to fight with words but all to often much harder to dispute the facts.
