Folks may remember Mr. Ozment, the murderer Haley Barbour pardoned who was last seen being served with process in Wyoming.
It seems a Memphis TV station has obtained his resume. The headline tells the best part of the story (and, if one calls the number listed for Gov. Barbour, you get the voicemail for [...]
“It’s not safe. David is a cold-blooded murderer and he’s living with a self-proclaimed antichrist. That’s dangerous,” said Tammy Gatlin’s sister, Tiffany Ellis-Brewer.
The WLBT headline (to the story with the quote by family member of a murder victim, above) is hilarious:
Pardoned Trustee Living With “AntiChrist” in Alabama
This is a strange one. A [...]
The hacker collective (or whatever it is) Anonymous has taken down the website of the DC-area law firm Pucket Faraj (when I last checked it there was a default page there, and all the interior links to the site produced various “not found” messages) and stolen 2.6 gigs of emails from their servers, data related [...]
Briefs are to be filed by February 7th, en banc argument (that is, before the entire court) on February 9th, and the lower court proceeding before Judge Green is stayed.

Also worth reading are the exhibits, which include a number of documents from the circuit [...]
Here are the complaint, motion for a temporary restraining order, and the order granting the TRO in the pardons case, from Attorney General Hood’s webpage.
I would have thought that, to get relief– which requires showing likelihood of success– the attorney general would have had to show that a specific defendant got a pardon and he didn’t advertise [...]
I’ve been reading the Houston Chronicle’s coverage of the Stanford trial, and just started reading that from Patsy Brumfield, who appears to have arrived at the trial today as it is heading into week 2. Their coverage includes a blog and live tweets from their primary reporter. The judge has given each side [...]
“Maggi and I wanted to begin by thanking you and Marsha for a lovely and special lunch at the Mansion last Tuesday,” began a letter to the governor by the family friend of Doug Hindman, one pardon applicant. “It was very interesting to see the historical quilt upstairs.”
“Please tell Uncle Haley that one [...]
Another Justice Court judge came before the Mississippi Supreme Court for misconduct. This one had been previosuly sanctioned, and so this time out, gets a thirty day suspension for not following the law in a way that wasn’t just mistaken, ex parte contact with parties, and generally interfering with cases either not before him [...]
