I could’nt edit my comment earlier..I am the one whose daughter was stolen through crooked courts in Meridian Ms.
I said I did have money..I did Not have money..so I was a victim of the cruel Kangaroo court system in Mississippi.
God is watching..These evil doers wont get away with their evil.

My child was stolen from me through crooked courts in Meridian Ms. My life has been grief..and I have’nt been able to undo the wrong though I have tried..I am not rich enough to buy my rights..The lawyer I got was in collusion with my ex husbands lawyer..At the time I was still married to the woman beater who stole my child and got lieing witnesses to come to court for him..and it was all just a Kangaroo court.
I begged Bobby DeLaughter to help me..I begged Graves Thomas of Shreveport(my home town) to help me..and Stacy Freeman..of Shreveport..Well known attorneys..I did have money so they ignored me..Graves Thomas was struck by lightening..Stacey Freeman was killed near his law office by a drunk driver.
God is watching..how his daughters are treated and I hope the time has come when the ungodly are fearing in tremble..so we can watch for the day when The Saviour will return.

Kingfish, it sounds like your “friends” thought someone with intelligence could carry out such a horrible crime? What kind of friends do you have? Do they wear white sheets? Do you think Klukkers are smart?

Irregardless — non-standard or humorous use of regardless. So, you’re supposed to laugh when someone uses the word “irregardless.” Hahahahaha.

The protection against double jeopardy is a protection against being retried, not a protection against being indicted or reindicted. “Jeopardy” means seating a jury, period. And a mistrial does not count against the government unless under very limited circumstances the government causes it on purpose– a mistrial for a hung jury does not bar a retrial.

A nolle pros pretrial (or after a hung jury mistrial) means double jeopardy rights are not triggered.

One of the more annoying features about blog comments on legal issues is folks who insist on ignoring what the terms mean to courts and lawyers. It’s all well and good to have your own personal definitions, just don’t talk to us about them.

Commentor~

Your comments on BoynamedSioux claims that…

the state has been entitled to dismiss faulty indictments by nolle prosequi, with the approval of the judge, and reindict throughout history.

So, the State is “entitled” to reindict throughout history and “trump” double jeopardy protections?

Preaching on TV is the way to go. Big money in it. Charisma helps. Prior wickedness is a plus. Lapses are expected, and when you have one it’s not like being disbarred, you just climb back on the wagon.

Which is why he’ll go into something that accepts sketchy people like jury consulting.

Exactly, Chumba. Opposing counsel says “let’s use DeLaughter to mediate,” my first reaction is, “so what have you paid him?”

Steffey needs to have his coffee first before talking to Jerry Mitchell.

think I used wrong email on previous post

Irregardless of Beckwith, DeLaughter sold the courthouse and his previous deeds, good or bad, do not undo that act. Frankly, why would any client of a law firm want this guy around any sensitive matters; then, what reputable firm would want him?
