Timothy C. Evans was appointed by the State Supreme Court to the Appellate Court after losing his bid for Chief Judge. The decision has prompted speculation about whether it is a consolation prize and questions about the Court's reasoning linger. While Evans is respected, uncertainty remains regarding the appropriateness of his new role and whether the appointment was a sound choice.
