Hinds County Court Judge Melvin Priester, Sr. ordered the Sheriff in January to provide him with another bailiff. However, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the Sheriff has authority over the bailiffs. Judge Priester has yet to receive his extra bailiff.

Oldie but goodie
Fleetwood Mac performed this version of Black Magic Woman in 1970. Give it a listen as it sounds more like something you would have heard at the old Subway around three in the morning in the second half of the song.
Malone was nuts about Walnut
A review of bills proposed by Former Representative Bennett Malone reveals a rather interesting pattern: A consistent effort to increase the number of beds and maximum ages allowed at the Walnut Grove facility. His attempts to help the private prison on this score occurred from 1998 to 2007. Walnut Grove was the subject of many illegal dealings between Chris Epps and Cecil McCrory.

Mississippi kids make good on Raiders
Two eleven year-old Mississippi kids loved Raiders of the Lost Ark so much that they made their own fan film version of the movie in 1982. Fast forward over thirty years and its shown at the SXSW Film Festival for the first time. Spielberg even sent them a letter praising the effort. Here is the trailer.

Harrison payments to Health Assurance match dates cited in Martin indictment. Coincidence?
A company that was a prime beneficiary of MDOC's no-bid contract policy under Chris Epps also landed a lucrative contract with Harrison County for providing medical services to its inmates. MDOC paid Health Assurance, LLC more than $49 million for medical services to MDOC prisons from 2003 to 2014 while Harrison paid more than $14 million. Incredibly, the dates of the payments coincide with dates cited by prosecutors for when now-deceased Harrison County Supervisor William Martin accepted bribes in his indictment.

The Atlantic asks "What is Isis?"
Frozen in today and want something to read? The Atlantic published a very thorough and thought-provoking piece on the threat posed by the Islamic State as well as its origins. Laughing at the Islamic State brings much peril but ignoring IS is something Americans are prone to do. One of the dangers of being surrounded by two oceans. Out of sight and out of mind. Pour a nice drink and read. This is a good one.
