Jackson Jambalaya

Shuler Smith is a complete failure.

It's not just that he's was out on bond that bothers me. It's that there's been no trial on Ms. Durr's case !

There is something broken in our legal system and despite what the Jackson bashers think, these continual delays in all court cases of all types is resulting in justice denied.

I personally think it's the legal profession. Judges give lawyers delays they do not deserve . They are not holding lawyers or the lawyer's client in contempt and making that contempt stick when they fail to produce discovery documents or follow court ordered payments.

The delays allow attorneys to bill more hours than the case warrants.

If our courts are that overburdened, then I want that fixed. Temporarily have judges appointed and venues found to hear cases until the case dockets are cleared and then figure out how many judges are needed to keep the system running. Require attorneys to take pro bono cases until this is fixed...so many per firm based on the number of lawyers per firm.

But, this is ridiculous.

If the police can't get good evidence processed in a timely manner then we have to expand that system.

I want to know where the problems are and I want them fixed!

And, before you Jackson bashers weigh in, a divorce took 7 years in Madison so the husband could successfully " starve" his wife. She ended up living in her car. The marital home wasn't maintained and became worthless. He claimed bankruptcy but lived well and his business miraculously restarted when the divorce was final.

And, I am seeing judges allowing delays giving executors the opportunity to rob estates blind.

Attorneys are filing bogus motions and those motions are granted just to bill more hours and to try to drive up plantiff or defendants costs. They do this to either force a cheap settlement for their client or to hope the other side can no longer continue to pursue the case.

This isn't justice. This is corruption in Mississippi and it's time it stopped!

And the ever-stoic Howard. What's up with the terribly poor audio. They had mics and professionals in the room, no?

There is absolutely no reason that a person that is charged with a crime in 2012 is not tried within 3 years. He was out on bond and the DAs office just forgot about him. This is outrageous!

Amen to 6:47! Based on my personal observations, it is plain that a person must be wealthy and have a lot of time to obtain Justice in Civil Court. The excessive delays granted to parties in Criminal and Civil Court deny Justice. Attorneys clog the system with junk lawsuits and Judges do not do their jobs to separate the wheat from the chaff. Our system is broken, from the prosecution and defense all the way through the courts.

No need for more judges. County courts were created for the sole purpose of alleviating the dockets in circuit courts.

There is not a single Hinds County Circuit Court judge (your boy Weill included) who sends cases to be handled by either of the County Court Judges.

Robert Smith needs to be run out of town

Get prepared for more courtroom injustice exposing citizens to dangererous thugs . Hillary Clinton made a speech today whining about 1.5 million blacks are incarcerated, police brutality toward black men,black hopelessness, black proverty, black joblessness, ect, ect. She stated the rioting is the voice of the unheard. She like her husband Bill and Shuler Smith is really going for the black vote. If elected justice will be flushed down the toilet.

Get to know Stanley Alexander. He is the real deal. Simply get to know him.

Johnny Weir, didn't you get the memo that black criminals' victims are most often black and riots happen primarily in the black community?

8:27 am If we don't need more judges or courtrooms, the judicial system in MS has some explaining to do.

It shouldn't take 5 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to prove your innocence in a civil case that should have been thrown out at the start. And it shouldn't take 5+ years to get a divorce without any maintenance being enforced or a divorce granted without the financial matters and custody settled.

Something is rotten in this State, not just in Jackson !
