There may be trains of thought in the Opposing Discussion link which might be worthy of integrating into this unbalanced article. For example, his views on innocence conflict with the book Actual Innocence, the many law school innocence projects it spawned, and generic decision error. His salary was cut (for what reason?) but he campaigned for it to be restored, lost, but eventually it was restored anyway. His website claims a DA's worst nightmare is to convict an innocent yet he didn't lift a finger to reverse the conviction of innocent Thomas Michael Kelly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.213.230 (talk) 18:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Mr. Kelly is a convicted rapist (http://www.dailyastorian.com/Main.asp?SectionID=2&ArticleID=51711) whose supporters are angry he was prosecuted and sent to prison.
Mr. Kelly was tried, convicted, and found guilty by a jury and then sentenced by a judge who said she agreed with the jury's verdict. Although an appeal is possible, until then Mr. Kelly is a convicted child rapist in the eyes of the law. Coastda (talk) 20:27, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
The discussion about DA pay was mainly state-wide (http://www.blueoregon.com/2006/11/are_salaries_fo.html and http://joshmarquis.blogspot.com/2006/11/pornography-of-pay.html) This is distinct from a controversy in which the DA's pay was cut after his wife ran against the County Commission Chair, Richard Lee. The DA's county pay was abruptly ended and a controversy ensued in which Lee was recalled. Within a month the remaining Commissioners restored the DA's pay a month after Lee was recalled (http://www.dailyastorian.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=50097&SectionID=23&SubSectionID=392&S=1)Coastda (talk) 04:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Coastda IS Josh Marquis. Its the screen name I use everywhere....e-mail, webpage. I thought it was evident, but if not I am happy to confirm it. I am vigilant about edits to a page that concerns me because a quick google search will show that that there is a small but very vitriolic group of people who intensely dislike me. Coastda (talk) 16:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Mr. Marquis pointed me to the following articles, on my talk page, as examples of writings critical of his views on the death penalty. Would be good to incorporate this into the article for some balance.

The above critical remarks may go under the external links sub-title "critics". To leave critics out would be unfair treatment compared to the entry for David Barton.75.139.214.136 (talk) 09:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed a line that mentions "...and numerous other articles that were cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia" with the source of http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/26/opinion/26marquis.html?_r=1
The only problem is that the source supports that the article was written by Mr. Marquis, but does not support the statement that it was cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Does anyone know where that citation can be documented so that the ref can be improved? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Read the decision in Kansas vs. Marsh, the concurring opinion of Justice Scalia, Section III, - there are numerous references in pages 38 on - http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/05pdf/04-1170.pdf. An earlier version had a direct link to the opinion. Also note this artcile in the NY TIMES referncing the same: : http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/25/us/25bar.htm Coastda (talk) 16:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
