This from WBTV:
In Charlotte, if you walk into the Civil Division of the Mecklenburg County Clerk of Court’s office on any given day, the room is full of people coming and going, there to look at a court file, make copies or get an official record.
North Carolina’s court system still runs almost entirely on paper, which means the only way you can access information about a case is to go to the courthouse and ask to see the documents.
But one court case in Mecklenburg County has been hidden from public view, a WBTV investigation has found. The case involves a sitting judge who is accused, in a legal filing, of domestic violence. Instead of sitting on the shelves for staff to access and provide to the public, the file sits locked in the office of Elisa Chinn-Gary, Mecklenburg County’s elected Clerk of Court.
District Court Judge Kimberly Best filed a lawsuit in November 2019 against a woman she alleged had an affair with her ex-husband, Randall Staton, while Best and Staton were still married.
The rest of the news story is here.

Elisa Chinn-Gary, Mecklenburg County’s elected Clerk of Court, needs to be investigated for her numerous unethical acts and violations of law.
She has no business being in that office or any position of power over law and people's lives.
She is unscrupulous and has covered up other unethical/illegal conduct by her clerks and by judges. She needs to be out of that office. VOTE
