All that said, it presents an interesting situation. Obviously, the electorate has been deprived of representation by their duly elected Commissioner since Miller was ousted. The fact that Miller was eventually exonerated, will never erase the stigma that's now attached to him, even if he decides to run again.

Allowing politics to influence the Judicial system is a dangerous road and clearly what happened in this situation.

Congratulations to Mr. Miller for toughing it out and coming out a winner.

(& at least according to what I read, he's been exonerated ... which would mean he's no longer a "convicted felon".)
