He must've gone to night school if he doesn't know if libel or slander pertains to the written word. And that part about not ever mentioning his client's name again on your site is real cute. You should post his name every day just to prove you can. And then maybe have a special section on the side like you do with Karen and Heather. Call it "RPD Corruption and Corey McDonald".

Gary Lee Williams PWNED

Nice. Very nice.

Maybe he doesn't realize you have a JD degree, 'Fish.

Mr. Williams,

"it's always wise to know the dog you're about to bark at"

typical ed rainer product.

KF, you can't just publish a quote. publishing either a slandererous utterance or a libelous statement CAN BE, is not automatically, actionable.

btw, publishing your private pissing matches isn't very amusing to some, but heck, if it sells this blog, and it IS your blog, piss at it.

KF, if you receive a summons and complaint, you know who to call . . .

Dude you got balls the size of grapefruits.

doesn't take much to impress some people.

I think Mr. McDonald's interests would be better served if next time would hire an attorney who could write a coherent letter without grammar errors. He might also be better served if said lawyer had at least a cursory grasp of libel laws.

If that is the original e-mail, somebody needs to proofread before they try to strike a blow. Typos or spelling errors, somebody is sloppy.

Kingfish, I hate to say it, but the lawyer is right. Exposing bogus police arrests can lead to loss in the bondsman's revenue. He may have a point! LOL!

Rule 11, is not it great! Discovery...Ridgeland PD, now that would be very interesting. Wow, what would be found if this went forward, not to mention the 1st Amendment prevailing!

I don't know Mr. Williams, but his statement "Sounds like you want to be a lawyer. Are you?," is the same type of arrogant, chronic assholic attitude that makes me want to beat the s--t out of most lawyers I have to deal with.

Btw, I've litigated against his boss, Ed Rainer, and respect him as an advocate. This type of garbage is beneath what I would expect from the Rainer firm.

My favorite line (and I'm sure I'm taking this out of context) was "Mr. McDonald emphatically disagrees with the truth". I would have expected much more from Rainer's firm as well. I've heard Rainer is quite the bulldog divorce attorney (unless I'm thinking of someone else-it is late). He didn't even spell Sims correctly.

Bravo KF ... Bravo.

KF, could you link to your post about McDonald/Sims? I'd like to read it but am having trouble finding it...

Anon: 8:51, just scroll down. "Another Soto victim comes forward".

Kingfish--the New Jersey Supreme Court recently ruled that a newspaper was immune to suit when it correctly reported on the allegations of a lawsuit.

NJSupremes Ruling: https://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/opinions/supreme/A7808SalzanovNorthJerseyMedia.pdf

Killer excerpt:

"Publications that might otherwise be actionable under the law of defamation, through exercise of an
established privilege, may be protected from liability because of a recognition that the publisher is acting in
furtherance of a socially important interest that is entitled to protection, even at the expense of uncompensated harm
to an individual’s reputation.

One such privilege, the fair-report privilege, extends to publication of defamatory
matter concerning another in a report of an official action or proceeding, or of a meeting open to the public that
deals with a matter of public concern.

This privilege acknowledges the value placed on the right of the public, in a
democratic society, to be informed about a wide variety of official matters. The fair-report privilege attaches where
the report is accurate and complete or a fair abridgement of the occurrence that is recounted.

I'm pretty sure you have this all under control KF. Bravo!!!

Sims, is pleased! Way to put the early mud slinging to a rest. I just hope everyone keeps this thing "cival".......so to speak. ;-)
Mr. Garrett's playing his "full house" hand very near to his chest. I truly think he's just flashed a slight peak of only one of his cards. Let's just hope he slams the entire hand down on the table here really soon

Rainer Law Firm turned out NUMEROUS documents to my attorney with all type of errors. I don't take anything that firm turns out seriously. Like earlier post said, "typical" of Rainer Law.

After that 'strongly worded letter' from the Raineer law Firm PLLC I stopped back to see that this post was still up.

I am glad that I was not charged for those communications. I would have asked 'why are you asking the question if you don't know the answer?'

Funny, but a lawyer in Brookhaven decided to send my Mom a letter demanding payment for a bill due to an LLC she owned. Only problem is, the letter was addressed personally to her AND there was no contract compelling her or the LLC for the alleged debt. I went to a legal forms site, found the forms I needed to send back, researched the law, composed a direct letter alleging harassment and quoted FDCA statutes and guess what? No response. Shut them down. The "threat" that was made upon my Mom was returned with FACTS and upon realization that my Mom was not going to take it, a simple letter told an attorney that was willing to "threaten" her with civil proceedings quickly realized that the law is on the side of those who do right, not on the side of those who seek to take advantage.

The legal profession in MS is on notice. Not by me, but by all who have fallen prey to the "old standards."

Funny,

"Mr. McDonald is a former marine who has never been convicted of any crimes whatsoever."

his attorney might want to look a little deeper into the actual facts of that statement......

Of course he's never been charged with anything. He lives in Madison County where his family's in law enforcement. Good Ole Boy immunity I guess.?
I imagine Mr. Garrett is ready to welcome all challengers

Is it true Sims Garrett is working with the federal government on this case? This could get very interesting.

I heard Sims was working with the Mossad.

I'd be curious to compare Sims Garrett's military service record to Mr. McDonalds. Mr. Garrett was in the U.S. Navy and worked with E.O.D. Mobile Unit-17. I'm not exactly sure what Mr. McDonald did in the Marine Corp but I do know he didn't leave on the best of terms. I'm real curious to know exactly what Mr. Garrett did in the service. Explosive Ordinance Disposal personel in the Navy are all Seals. I know Mr. Garrett wasn't a Navy Seal but I am curious to know what his "job decription" was.............
I'M LOVINNNNNNN ALL OF THIS!!!

Has anyone seen Mr. McDonald or Mr. Garrett out anywhere???? I'm wondering what they're both up too. I heard Sims went to Virginia.? anyone know?

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sims moved to Jackson!!! Can you blame him?

Sims has got some swing in the world evidentally. It looks like powerful people all over the country are watching this whole situation. Reporters have contacted Mr. Garrett but he's waiting a few extra weeks before his first interview. His family and close personal friends have hired a media consultant. This whole thing looks like it's been in the works for a while.
