CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Nevada Supreme Court Justice James Hardesty says he will seek re-election next year to a second term.
Hardesty is a former chief district court judge in Washoe County who was elected to the high court in 2004.
In recent years, the Attorneys for Criminal Justice gave him their "Defender of the Sixth Amendment" award and Nevada Legal Services picked him for its "Champion of Justice" award.
So far, no one has announced plans to challenge him in the 2010 election.

placed on the record of the 11-19-09 Pardons Board Heaing. On June 24, 2009 I appeared before this Pardons Board to bring it to your attention the ILLEGAL acts within in the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office. I presented you with the documentation, the hand written notes that former ADA Ron Rachow made on the Motion for Discovery 21 years ago. Mr. Rachow violated BRADY V MARYLAND by withholding all of the Materiality and Exculpatory evidence that showed another person was responsible for the crime in which my innocent brother, NOLAN KLEIN, was convicted of. Not only did Mr. Rachow withhold the evidence that would have cleared an innocent man, several employees within the Washoe District Attorney’s Office knew about this AND SAID NOTHING OVER THE LAST 21YEARS!! In fact, ADA John Helzer appeared before this Board on October 29, 2008 stating he looked in Mr. Klein’s file. He looked, he saw and HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE OTHER SUSPECT, Mr. Zarsky to you.

James W. Hardesty sold whatever ethics and intergity he might of had for a price when he refused,as a district court judge, to compy with the law and agreed to fix the outcome of a case pending before him in exchange for a seat as a Supreme Court Justice, which clearly states his lack of probity and his violation of public trust.
