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 [...] 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. I have never heard of an en banc argument set just over a week out! Tom Fortner seems to have got their attention. Update: [...] As I noted, Tom Fortner has sought an emergency appeal of the pardon case, which Kingfish has up. His papers present an elaboration of the argument he made in his motion to dismiss, and are worth reading for that. 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 [...] “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 [...] Kingfish earlier posted a couple of times about a Hinds County pardon case involving Douglas Hindman, who was caught in a TV-show sponsored sting involving investigators posing as early-teen girls and setting up meetings with guys seeking sex. Now he’s pushing that along, by looking at the other cases that arose out of the [...] The leded begins “pardon files are missing” but reading the article carefully, I think what it says is “The state responded to a public records request for pardon files by saying there aren’t any.” Here’s Holbrook Mohr’s story: Pardon files are missing or don’t exist for four convicted killers and another man who [...] Mississippi Supreme Court justice Taylor McElroy was a circuit judge and before that mayor of Oxford. His knowledge of politics (particularly local varieties) was long and deep. About newspaper coverage of court proceedings, he commented, “They always send a sports reporter to cover court.” I’m not sure of the usual beat of R.L. Nave [...] I am sad to report the death of W. Allen Pepper, Jr., who was a United States District Judge here in Mississippi beginning in 1999.
