An October 27th swearing-in ceremony is set for Mingo County 's
new family court judge.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin appointed Sabrina L. Deskins to the
position on Sept. 17.
The West Virginia Supreme Court says the swearing-in ceremony
will be held at noon on October 27th in the main courtroom of the Mingo County
Courthouse in Williamson.
Deskins will complete the remainder of Miki Thompson's term.
Tomblin appointed Thompson in July to replace former Mingo County Circuit Court
Judge Michael Thornsbury.
Thornsbury resigned and pleaded guilty in October 2013 to a
federal conspiracy charge stemming from a corruption probe.
