At last, judge at brother's side

One of the earliest-arriving guests at the Mark Mallory mayoral campaign party was his brother, Judge William Mallory Jr.

Judge Mallory said his position on the court precluded him from campaigning for his brother, but that he helped out by contributing to the campaign.

"I've got my own campaign to run," Judge Mallory said. "I've not spoken to him today. I thought I'd leave him alone and let him work."

The judge said he spent the morning in court before picking his son up from school and spending a quiet afternoon at home.
