District 21 judicial candidate John Mantooth "District 21 judicial candidate John Mantooth is not a good father, not a good grandfather and in my opinion a review of his 37 year record as an attorney in Cleveland, Garvin and McClain Counties reveals that he would not be a good judge," Mantooth daughter Jan Schill (formerly Jan Mantooth), of Durango, Colorado, states, going on to cite several court cases, including family divorce filings.

Another post by Andrew Schill, an attorney, takes issue with a Christmas basket that John Mantooth allegedly sent, including a pocket knife and "scentless" potpourri. But it was the chocolates that were ridden with "numerous worms and weevils" that Andrew Schill alleges he discovered after taking a bite.

"My deepest momentary fear was realized when a survey of the remaining chocolate revealed the remains of the numerous worms and weevils that had long ago devoured the aged chocolate," Andrew Schill writes on the website. "The following day would find a slightly enraged voicemail from John Mantooth who had discovered that I was under the erroneous assumptions that the gift was for me. He wanted to clarify that the rusted golden basket, pocket knife, stale potpourri and worm-ridden chocolates were not for me, but were in fact for my wife, his second daughter, for Christmas! He did not want her to think she was forgotten! The slight humor I had originally felt quickly turned to anger and a renewed sadness for the years of such indifference my wife had endured."
