Horrific. The mother was pretty active in her daughter's school and was well-known. My heart goes out to their two girls.
So very sad. Those poor children. Can't even imagine.
"Any questions regarding Christopher Smiths employment"? Convenient how this press release would put something like that without just coming out and saying that this guy was a Hinds County Sheriff's Deputy. To protect and serve, I guess...
That is too awful for words. Whoever did whatever, those children should have been their priority. Evidently not. Poor kids.
How about "Local Attorney Found Dead?"
Yeah, it is your blog, but another local attorney was found dead under pretty strange circumstances recently and you didn't touch it because you had mutual friends.
This one you have a connection with too from hanging around the downtown bars so it gets soft peddled instead of the type of headline you gave JB, a former target of yours.
Great investigator it seems, but you also seem to really like to pick and choose your treatment of peoples' personal tragedies. Which, again, it is your blog.
Peace to the families.
Which, again, it is your blog.
Why yes, yes it is, his gig.
Men, please stop doing this. Think of your children.
Jan 2011: Hinds Co. Deputy Describes Finding Baby 2 Days After ...
Tragic. You have to think that he (and his family) needed God or they suffered from addictions to account for such waste and horror. "The thief comes to steal, kill, & destroy. I am come that they might have life..." John 10:10
4:34 - Since God doesn't exist, he has nothing to do with this...

These little girls will never really recover. The consequences will never end for them. Could these two warring spouses not at least have arranged for a babysitter before they acted out their trashy tragedy?
Sometimes I'm just shocked to the point I can't think of one. Feel free to slam me for that little fact.
Worse yet, the grandparents are just getting started in the mess. Nobody thinks of children anymore, everyone is too busy assessing blame.
The universal answer to "your blog omitted to post about ____" is simple: "start your own blog." Then make sure you post about everything that every anonymous reader wants to read about. For free, mind you.
Thanks Anderson for saving me from having to remind the idiot.
How does a Hinds County Deputy, that probably has a Hinds County Vehicle that he drives at night to his home in Rankin County where he lives off Holly Buff road and HWY 25, how can this deputy live in RANKIN county RECEIVE a check from Hinds county? The protocol from the county he received his paycheck that deputy musy reside in county he is working
At 2:50 Hinds Co. Deputies are not required to live in Hinds County. Each agency has their own policies regarding where they can/can't live.
I live in Gluckstadt and a Hinds County Sheriff's Dept lives in my neighborhood.
All that matters is a woman is dead and two kids are going to grow up without parents and knowing one killed the other.
