Today’s Washington Post reports that Governor Kaine has appointed the Judge who presided over the John Allen Muhammed trial to the Virginia Court of Appeals:
The judge who oversaw the first trial of Washington area sniper John Allen Muhammad was named yesterday to the Virginia Court of Appeals, and officials said his handling of the case played a key role in the appointment.
Prince William County Circuit Court Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. “stood up under heavy scrutiny during a very high-profile trial,” said Gordon Hickey, a spokesman for Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D), who named Millette to an eight-year term.
If the longtime jurist is confirmed by the Virginia General Assembly, he will be the first lawyer from Prince William to serve on the state’s second-highest court, Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul B. Ebert and other veteran Prince William lawyers said.
Congrtulations Judge Millette.

I will second the motion, Congratulations Judge Millete.
He presided over a two year stupid, litigation of a restaurant, and was the most gracious judge one could have had. He has the patience and the guts to go by the law
not what you see in slapstick PW circuit court that passes for jurisprudence.
