I have known Bill Turner for over 25 years. I respect his professionalism but I appreciate his heart. Earlier this year I attended a conference on victim awareness. As a professional in criminal justice, I had been to workshops over the years on this topic. This was the first time I had attended and listened from the perspective of the victim’s family. My nephew was murdered 2 years ago in another county and I got upset all over again. I was furious that no one had been arrested or held accountable and most of all I was disappointed in how the system had treated my sister. Bill was very busy that day as he had been a presenter at the conference. He took the time to speak to me and noticed I was upset. He acted as if he had all the time in world as he listened to my story. Even though it happened elsewhere, he offered clarifying information and volunteered to call that county’s officials on my behalf. Not only did he make that call but he followed up with me to see if I had gotten a call from that county’s DA. I am glad I live in the Brazos Valley with excellent representation by Bill Turner and his staff. If you examine how the DA’s office is run in other counties you will certainly appreciate Bill Turner and keep him in office.

As a law enforcement officer in this community for over sixteen years and more importantly as a parent, I can tell you firsthand that Bill Turner is the right man to be the District Attorney. I have had the pleasure of working with Bill on three capital murder trials and can tell you there is no one better. I have seen his dedication, attention to detail and passion for justice, not only for the victims and their families but for the community as a whole. Bill has made this community a safer place to live and a great place to raise a family.
