Worth Dikeman Deserves To Be District Attorney
1/30/04
Dear Editor:

I have been a trial attorney for 29 years now. I served the people of Humboldt County as a deputy district attorney from 1978 to 1985 and as a defense attorney from 1985 to 1996.

In 1996 I moved to Weaverville to serve as a deputy district attorney for Trinity County.

I have known Worth Dikeman for about 18 years, ever since he replaced me when I left the DA’s office. Worth has spent his time seeking justice in court, trying the most-difficult cases and therefore earning the right to say that he is qualified to be your district attorney. I know that Worth is the best at the business of seeking justice, making sure the guilty are held responsible and the innocent are set free.

Your district attorney is the chief law-enforcement officer of the county. The decisions that are made by your District Attorney’s Office affect the lives of victims, people charged with crimes and ultimately the community at large. Your district attorney should have earned his or her way there after many years of making the difficult decisions with justice as the only goal.

The people of Humboldt County have a rare opportunity to elect a man who truly is qualified to handle the difficult job of district attorney. Please consider supporting and voting for Worth Dikeman to be your next district attorney.
