Wonder if this subject changed his profession to Wallstreet Banker it would make a difference.

The judge was no doubt thinking that if Leonard had coughed up all the money he must have paid to Holloman . . .

I thought debtor's prisons were unlawful?

He is not in "debtor's prison". He is being held on contempt of court and the only way for him to purge himself of that contempt is to pay back the mis-used funds.

OR admit to Judge Grant he took the money. I would assume at that point the Chancellor would then turn it over to the District Attorney.

stolen funds are not ordinary debt

When is his sentencing for the charges he plead guilty to in February?

7:23 - yeah, I'm pretty sure what you just described is debtor's prison. Requiring him to give an accounting to get out of jail, I understand (although he could invoke the 5th Amendment should he so desire and he couldn't be jailed for that). Requiring him to pay the money to get out of jail is nothing more than a debtor's prison. You can't even throw someone in jail for not paying a judgment (whatever the underlying cause of action). They have to be convicted and sentenced. This all seems legally suspect.

He has very good counsel, good enough to plea Karen Irby into jail. I'm sure Mr. Holloman would be filing emergency requests if he thought the law was on his side.

Kingfish I hope the man gets Justice whatever it is.

I'd still like to know why the "Clarion Liar" has not picked up on this story?

Chancery Court is different folks. You can most certainly throw someone in jail for not paying a judgment. Ask all the deadbeat parents who thought they didn't need to pay child support if they can be thrown in jail. Once judgment is entered for child support, and you don't pay it, you can (and usually will) be thrown in jail. You will not get out until you cure the contempt. Chancery Court is a court of equity. Please learn your Mississippi Laws before you start spouting off about what Chancery Court can and cannot do.

Thank you.
