Contributed commentary by LaJoyce Weatherspoon, mother of Daniel Reed, who was killed in 2013:
It is with great honor I highly recommend Robert Nash as our next district attorney. As a mom of a murder victim and as an educator of our community, I have firsthand knowledge of what a successful verdict looks like when put in the hands of an experienced prosecutor. When devastation struck, he was there; when hope was gone, he was there; and because of him, my family and I can now rest in peace.
Mr. Nash is a man of integrity and a man of great faith. He is beyond being knowledgeable; his expertise and ability to apply the law are phenomenal, and his attention to detail is outstanding beyond words. He cares and works diligently for his clients; his determination to embrace justice is priceless. He and his team are one of the best in our judicial system.
For these reasons, I exceedingly recommend Mr. Nash without reservation as district attorney for our community. He definitely has the vote of me and my family. We absolutely admire and respect him to the fullest.
