NORRISTOWN â Denise Ashe, of Norristown, believes the criminal justice system needs someone who understands the challenges people face in their daily lives and after decades of community service she believes sheâs ready to serve her community as a district court judge.
âI just think sometimes people are not being compassionate about why people got to where they are. What can we do differently and how can we treat people differently?â Ashe said.
