Carl G. Gibson

I have nothing but good things to say about Judge Gibson. I have found him to be fair and honest. I have only appeared before him a few times on civil matters in which my husband and I had legal dealings with another fellow Nowatian. It's always a good thing when he rules in your favor and I hope I never have to stand before him if I've misbehaved! He ran against Judge Sonnenberg and won, I pray he stays in office!

Carl G. Gibson is a disgrace to the US legal system. Not only has he demonstrated abuse of power, but he has shown indifference to human safety and the law itself. I work in construction and buildings are legally required to be safe use. It is illegal to operate a facility in which occupants are knowingly placed in danger. Nowata County Sheriff Terry Sue Barnett submitted a letter of resignation after being ordered by Carl G. Gibson to place inmate in a facility with a list of alleged safety violations which if true included incidents of electric shocks in showers and unsolved carbon monoxide leaks. Carl G. Gibson declared Sheriff Terry Sue Barnett resignation void. A judge cannot stop someone from quitting their job. Anyone practicing US law should know this. If the conditions of the jail are as bad as they are said to be, this building is unsafe and it would be criminal to allow its continued use until repaired. Carl G. Gibson's comments about the budget shows that he cares more about saving money than he does about the safety of others and the law itself.
