From the CL. The CL. is reporting that DeLaughter’s plea will allow him to claim a proper ruling regarding OTHER cases. Bragging rights. What other cases? It states an action in where DeLaughter concealed a jury award. Has he hidden other awards? Also states that other complaints may go unresolved. What happen to due process of law and constitutional rights of claims related to those complaints. I’m thinking long meetings now and people attending them who ain’t spoken of.

Let’s see were in Mississippi this isn’t Roswell New Mexico or area 51 so what gives here. OK may be it’s like this a big and I mean a big bunch of money landed in the Hinds county court and as what goes around try’s to come around it meets the GOB.

The GOB is real and in some instances obvious. Problematic to resolve is the snake skin like event in where the old must die before the new can be had. Americans usually refuse to go down without a fight making this all the more odd, since whats going on is related to criminal acts.

But hey in the mental state and thoughts of the GOB they probably think there saving man kind.

What was U.S. Attorney Jim Greenlee thinking? Full immunity to Ed Peters! Joey Langston, who opened this can of worms, is siting in jail. Ed is out fishing. DOJ should investigate Greenlee’s bonehead decision.

Blackbear, the charge that Delaughter pled guilty to has been out there all along and was the strongest count against him — under the circumstances, virtually indefensible. But, compared to the other charges, it is likely the least serious from a sentencing standpoint. Assuming the sentencing guidelines are followed, Delaughter will get off relatively light —compared to what could have been if the prosecution’s case on the other counts were stronger and the case had been successfully tried to convictions on those counts. Apparently, as many of us speculated, Peters’ testimony was not going to be all that compelling or helpful on the other counts —-which still raises the question of: why the sweet deal with Peters in the first place? I still think this was all part of a fall back plan of sorts by Peters and Delaughter. Simply put, Peters outfoxed the feds and the Scruggs team. “Justice” was not served with respect to Peters. But, one thing that life has taught me —-what goes around, always comes around — Peters will eventually get what is coming to him (as will us all).

I think it is worth remembering that all of this is speculation which, just as recently as last week, had the government with no case on DaLaughter at all and both men walking. I realize that patience in times of 24-hour news cycles is really low, but I think that if we were to sit back, enjoy a beverage and the rest of summer, interesting things may just unfold. (btw, pure speculation)

Yep it seems that as things drifted toward the DeLaughter matters there’s a reduction of some legal actions in favor of the DEAL! behind door no. 3

Observer: that works for me. I guess we’ll just have to wait a while longer to see whether the fat lady will entertain the huddled masses with her melodies, or disappoint. Stay tuned.

What’s his take on this?

Rhymes with “mo bomment,” I suspect.

(Hadn’t realized before that nothing rhymes with “comment.”)

In response to Bayrat:

“Its Capitol Street after midnight just like it was before
21 months later at the local convenience store
Ed Peters buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer
The headlines read that Bobby, out of prison, is going home to there,
Ed Peters pulls back onto High Street in his new Mercedes Benz
The road goes on forever and the party never ends

LOTS of apologies to REK.
