What would we do without you, Steve Sanson? We need you desperately as a watchdog to oversee administrative transitional moves (like when one judge leaves his or her seat and another judge gets voted in and sworn in to take over).
What would we do without your extraordinarily sharp-eyed oversight on that?
You wrote on Dec. 2, 2020 in your post on your Veterans in Politics website headlined, “GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN,” that, to quote — “ ‘apparently’ [our single quotes] Judge Stefany Miley is no longer a judge in Clark County.”
Um, hey, bro — Steve. Psssst: There was an election in the state of Nevada on Nov. 3, 2020. I’m thinking given your professional career as the very lowly paid president of Veterans in Politics Internation (yes, that word Internation is correct; you can look it up on the Nevada Secretary of State website) you might have heard about it. Being political and all. But maybe not. We were just assuming. (Sorry, didn’t want to call you out there.)
Judge Stefany Miley didn’t run for re-election. She’d been at it for 16 years as Eighth Judicial District Court (Dept. 23) judge, sitting in judgment on all kinds of horrific crimes, hearing every gory detail in all kinds of homicide cases as well as other nasty violent crimes. Not to mention her divorce. She’d had enough.
Not that you deserve any explanation whatsoever, though.
And a judge elected on Nov. 3, 2020 takes office at the beginning of the next year — in this case on Jan. 4, 2021. That was the first Monday of the new year — the first official work day in 2021. It’s Nevada state law. We looked it up, just to be sure. So, because Judge Miley was not officially replaced by the newly elected Jasmin Lilly-Spells, who would take over when she was sworn in as the Eighth Judicial District Court (Dept. 23) judge on Jan. 4, 2021, the assumption is that Judge Miley still had computer access. But she didn’t know. Once she was no longer a judge, she never tried to log into the system. She was done as a judge. You, being the super-sleuth you are with your “sources,” and your FOIA filings could probably drill down and check out the access logs over the time in question. You won’t find her being logged as logging into the system.
What are we missing, Steve Sanson, master sleuth and spy? Please enlighten us as to your conspiracy theory and suspicion. We love a good suspenseful plot. Let us know.
This is a clerical issue. Not a criminal or civil issue. Oh, and moot. (That was 2020 & 2021, BTW — it’s now 2022. Just wanted to point that out.) If you’re still so concerned about this, you should reach out to someone at the Clark County Regional Justice Center in Downtown Las Vegas to make sure they dot their “i”s and cross their “t”s. I suspect you’re not, though, that concerned. Because it’s really an unimportant, moot point.
Seriously, Steve? This is what you’re worried about? Investigative journalism in the Las Vegas area must be pretty slow these days.
Oh, and yes, we talked to Stefany, and she would LOVE it if you referred to her as Stefany Tewell (her maiden name and now her new legal name after divorcing Las Vegas attorney Randy “Ed” Miley. She’s ready to move on from that relationship for sure. So yes, please do refer to her as Stefany Tewell. Much appreciated. Thanks for bringing that up.
Man, your “I-Team” has been busy! (What a joke!) And led by you, no less.
FACTS and RUMORS, you say? We think your “I-Team” should be renamed the “R-Team.” (R for RUMORS, get it?)
“Reporting” on rumors, rumors and more rumors. Better watch it, super-sleuth Steve. Defamation could be rearing its ugly head sometime soon.
(Oh, and you can check out this post — JUDGE STEFANY MILEY, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! PART 2 — for the reason why she returned to her hometown of Austin, Texas. We didn’t want to bore readers with repetition. Again, though, not that you deserve an explanation.)
Hey, great investigative work there, “Super Sleuth Sanson.” Keep it up!
