He followed with, “Is that right?” That’s what the Greenwood Commonwealth reported Dr. Smith saying in a bond hearing and arraignment today. The justice court judge replied he had nothing to do with it, and Smith kept arguing, saying that his attorney should be there, until “a deputy snatched the handcuffed physician.” There [...]  The affidavit that was the basis for the search warrant of Dr. Smith’s home and office is now available, and has some interesting details about what happened that night and of a statement by the intruder into Abraham’s office who survived the incident. Lee Abraham got a telephone call from someone who offered to [...] Mike Gillich has died. Here’s the story in the Sun Herald. Gillich operated strip joints on the Gulf Coast, and was deeply connected to the Dixie Mafia. He was convicted in the effort to hire a hit on circuit judge Vincent Sherry, and later became a government witness in convicted Biloxi mayor Pete Halat [...] That’s the Greenwood Commonwealth front page today. Smith is on the left. The quote in the title is from the Greenwood police chief, describing how things went wrong for the apparent hit man when he came into Lee Abraham’s law office on Saturday night. The Greenwood Commonwealth is reporting that there was a [...] Some details– not necessarily consistent– are being reported about the incident in Greenwood now, although it’s hard to tell what to credit. The Clarion Ledger runs a Greenwood Commonwealth story with more details: Authorities say a 70-year-old oncologist is accused of hiring two men to kill the lawyer who represented his ex-wife when they divorced in [...] Update: Yes, there is more. See below. I’m hitting repeated references to a story breaking in Greenwood. Here’s one bit, from WLBT in Jackson: A 70-year-old oncologist is accused of hiring hit-men to kill the lawyer who represented his ex-wife when they divorced in the 1990s. Greenwood police tell the Greenwood Commonwealth that Dr. Arnold [...] John Q.

Mike Wallace had a televised conversation with Thurgood Marshall, Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, Inc. The [...] I’m of the opinion that the word “additional” in the quote in the heading may create a false impression that there’s much oversight going on of the CIA’s drone assassinations. Rolling Stone has a very interesting and horrifying article by Michael Hastings about the use of drones for killing purported terrorists, sort out the differences in [...] The court asked for proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. Yesterday, the Government filed an eight page brief, and the Scruggs side filed a forty pages proposed findings. There’s a “don’t think about the elephant” quality to the Scruggs proposed findings. The elephant is the testimony from Peters, Paterson, Langston, and Balducci [...] So, to review the bidding: Mississippi has a criminal libel statute. It is extraordinarily vague and, from the standpoint of punishment, stunningly open-ended: Any person who shall be convicted of writing or publishing any libel, shall be fined in such sum or imprisoned in the county jail for such term as the court, in [...] |
