In State v Steal, a capital murder conviction for death of 23 month old child, reversed and rendered on appeal, Bennett gave defense an opinion after reviewing all records that the injury was from a fall. On eve of trial, he changed his opinion, claiming brain slides he viewed necessitated change. The slides had no bearing on the case. Luckily, Steal had a Supreme Court panel with guts.

At this point, Miss. would be lucky to have Tiger Woods’s girlfriend named USA.

I think we’ll get our nominees named & confirmed sometime after Gitmo closes.

Moonlight, champagne, tears well up as I gaze deeply into my wife’s eyes and murmur: “Our marriage has been an interesting journey often of intense work with many people who have become cherished friends.” Gotta wonder who wrote that one.

Lotus, I don’t know what the source of your information is, but Tom Bennett was more than qualified as a medical examiner when he came to Mississippi, and he had more than adequate experience. Bennett tried to drag death investigation in Mississippi, kicking and screaming, from the 19th to the 20th century. The State’s ME office was never adequately funded, Bennett left Mississippi frustrated, and we’ve had over 20 years of death investigation relegated to the like of Steve Hayne. The big area where Bennett lacked experience when he came to Mississippi is how politics trumps everything in the “criminal justice” system. That’s a lesson he learned here.

You may have forgotten that Tommy Bennett was the MS State Medical Examiner for a while also. His “experience” claims were somewhat questionable.

Hoping I’m wrong, but it seems offen times that the victims love ones are made prey by a system seeking mindless conviction.

Which reminds me … are we any closer to getting a new USA and a US Marshal in the Northern District?

Somebody oughta gin up a “Bob Norman for US Attorney” campaign. The best candidate for this post is hidden right here in plain sight.
