State Senate President's Son Among New Judges


Gov. Martin O'Malley has appointed nine lawyers, one of them the son of state Sen. President Thomas V. Mike Miller, to be trial judges.

Named to the Circuit Court bench in Baltimore were Kendra Y. Ausby, counsel for the Courts and Judicial Affairs Division of the attorney general's office and a former assistant public defender; Videtta A. Brown, a District Court judge and former prosecutor; Charles J. Peters, a federal prosecutor and former city prosecutor; and Stephen J. Sfekas, a health care lawyer who represents providers for the developmentally disabled.

"They seem like they will be very fine additions to our bench," W. Michel Pierson, acting administrative judge for the Baltimore Circuit Court, said Wednesday . Tapped for the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court bench were career prosecutor Laura S. Kiessling, the deputy state's attorney; and trial and business law attorney Ronald H. Jarashow, a partner in an Annapolis law firm.
