Outgunned
In response to Keith B. O' Connell's letter of Oct. 17:
He mentioned that my wife and I were unsuccessful litigants in Cox's court last year. We stood up against the insurance company's lawyer and, according to Judge Cox, "It was a close call."
We are not lawyers and lost every objection made by the San Antonio lawyer. In fact, Judge Cox admitted he had to go to the Internet to make his decision. I did not think this was ethical. The case should be decided on facts presented and then applied against the law.
Our case was heard over three days and several months because Cox's office had confused the paperwork. Other observations were based on spending time in his court watching how others were treated.
When lawyers from out-of-town insurance companies are paid and get involved in our local politics, it is time for a change.
