Pitt County’s newest judge said that she is grateful to voters for entrusting her with the responsibility of the bench and that her intention going forward is to balance legal duty with public care. “The law functions to serve the people. It seems to me in our current political climate, perhaps there has been a neglect of serving people,” said Democrat Watisi Sutton, who unseated two-term Republican judge Daniel Hines Entzminger in the Nov. 3 midterm election 34,518 to 28,305 votes. The total includes provisional and absentee ballots counted Tuesday, but not change from Friday’s canvass. She will serve a four-year term as one of six judges on the District Court bench in Pitt County, which makes up the state 3rd Judicial District.
