Citizens rightfully call out cronyism by Chancery Court Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, Former Supreme Court Justice Leo Strine and Delaware Governor John Carney in a full-page Delaware News Journal ad. Check out the ad below.
“Devious lawyers, complicit judges and cronyism lead Delaware’s future,” the top of the ad reads. “You’re the next victim.”
I couldn’t agree more with all of the injustice and illicit conduct we’ve seen from this court since I started covering it with a vengeance of what I saw as obvious corruption at the start, and throughout, former Chancellor Andre Bouchard’s shortened tenure.
