Someone needs to introduce this chap to the semicolon.

Looks like a motion filed by an inmate trying to use legal terms.

Bless his heart. Perhaps he needs a semicolonic irrigation.

Is this the same lawyer that faked his own death, then went to his own funeral, then got caught because he got mad at people who didn't show up and called them to complain?

A complete semi-colonoscopy would be more effective. Irrigation would only " water it down a little" .

Truly poor grammar and syntax. Is this bird a graduate of any educational institution?

Does not speak well for the Southern University law school. Wonder if they require grammar as a requisite to graduating their law school. Bet he graduated "with honors".

Take out all the redundancies and it would be a page long.

To paraphrase: She's committed fraud and we're going to report her to the FBI ... And if she needs a letter of recommendation, just let us know.

Could this be the same attorney?

The blog has now morphed into a sentence-construction-police site. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a serious matter. It's not at all uncommon for an office affair to be had, then ended, then followed by continued demands from one or the other. And that typically constitutes sexual harassment when the perp is told to stop and doesn't.

So, the defense (here) becomes a game of 'let's make the lawyers look stupid'. The mayor (who played football at Ole Miss) has some Rolaids in his immediate future. If he's guilty, I hope he loses his ass. If not, I hope she gets hers.

Truth is both of them deserve to be fired. Chief of Staff is screwing her boss? Unless he forced her into it, which can happen, fire them both. Notice how it seems neither one of them have a problem with that part of the whole story.

Hard to believe an attorney would make such allegations prior to confirming whether or not the the recipient of the letter was serving the role of friend or attorney. Wow.

There is nothing surprising about the letter. What is surprising is that it was written by someone who died in a boating accident around 1970. Must be his ghost or something.

Oh, the Travis Vance story is such old, old hat in Vicksburg. Yes, he clumsily faked his own death, then rose on the third day to fumble on as a lawyer...everyone there knows that. People in Vicksburg are quite forgiving of such shenanigans, though. I am far more aghast about the grammatical horrors. This site, like every other, NEEDS more "sentence construction police."

Kingfish, based on IN RE: PETITION FOR DISBARMENT OF TRAVIS T. VANCE, JR. how is this man in the practice of law given his apparent conviction for a felony?

A story from December 17, 1970 reports:

"JBW cuts sentence of Travis Vance Jr. Travis T. Vance Jr., who pleaded guilty to a grand jury larceny charge and received a two year prison sentence has been granted a 90 day suspension of his sentence... was granted the suspension by Gov. John Bell Williams. Vance, a former attorney, had been indicted by the July grand jury on the charge that grew out of a land deal in which he and Philip H. Irwin Jr. allegedly misappropriated $94,000 from millionaire industrialist F.L. Cappaert. Both were tried in July, but their trials ended in mistrials. Vance later disappeared in what appeared to be a boating accident at Eagle Lake, but later turned himself in following a massive search on the lake. He pleaded to charge and began serving his sentence." link

The document described as "Copy typed document signed. Re: affidavit of Travis Vance Jr. concerning the events of 30 September 1962. Annotated copy." might be interesting reading based on what happened on September 30, 1962 and that it is currently located in the John C. Satterfield/American Bar Association Collection (MUM00685)* at the University of Mississippi.

* ("The John C. Satterfield Collection contains files related to Satterfield's involvement in the American Bar Association which he presided over from 1961-1962. The papers also include speeches and case files associated with his representation of Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett during the 1962 University of Mississippi integration crisis as well as consolidated cases of public school boards across Mississippi and the South seeking to delay desegregation.")

That JBW 'cut the sentence' doesn't remove the felony conviction, does it? Did he receive a pardon?

From what I have read and may or may not understand correctly the guilty plea is cause to disbar. How is this man practicing law?

I know this is an old article but the letter isn't showing anymore. Any chance to get it back up?

Voila. The older documents are in Flash.
