What is really upsetting about this entire mess is that Asst. DA Jamie McBride is caught up in the Attorney General's quest to get RSS. Why ruin someone's career just to get RSS?

because he thinks he is guilty, 1:47. duh.

How are you so sure that McBride is not actually caught up in the mess. As was pointed out in the argument yesterday, just because his boss might have told him to do something and he did it, if it was an illegal act then he shouldn't have done it.

Being a good guy is not always a good defense. I don't know - and neither do you - whether Jamie was part of the crap going on in that office or not. That's what a trial is for. The grand jury evidently thought enough of the evidence (which neither you nor I have seen) to think that he was guilty enough to indict.

I am beginning to think this Waide guy is as slimy as RSS.

2:43; Is there some reason you're so damned late getting to the party?

2;37 Thank you for your comment. Being a nice guy does not mean you are not an accessory.

2:37 Anyone who knows McBride certainly knows he would never do anything against the law. He takes his job and responsibilities very seriously. No one can see that he is the scapegoat here??????

If he were told by his boss to do something would he do it? Would he bother to think about whether it was 'against the law' or just a weird request. If he knew his boss were doing wrong, would he report it?

If he didn't know his boss was off his rocker and trying to protect people he was supposed to be prosecuting, he might be 'a good guy' but he would have to be dumb as shit. Don't know if that's a crime, but its not a good recommendation.

I don't know McBride. I don't know what info was put before the grand jury. Evidently he and his family and friends on here do know him. Do you know what evidence exists, or are you just using the good guy defense?

If it is the good guy defense, how did you feel about Bobby DeLaughter? Everybody said he was a good guy. And I won't even ask you about your feelings on Scruggs, although he had wonderful recommendations about what a great guy he was.

Why in hell do these same three people keep posting (on every related thread) what a 'good person' McBride is? Do they think it will become true if they say it often enough?

There are a lot of good people that RSS has put through the mud but because Jamie McBride is white and weak he is a good person. I for one don't think he is a good person. Would a good person betray the confidence of his friends to score points with a boss that he knows is absolutely crazy.

Look what he attempted to do Beasley and Turk with that affidavit. Those guys did nothing wrong by asking McBride were they going to be indicted yet Waide and RSS had Jamie to sign an affidavit to make it appear to the public that they were wrong. Excuse me but so far it looks like they were only doing their jobs. This is becoming clearer each day. Butler was crooked, the. AG went after them and RSS went after Turk and Beasley for doing their job. Jamie McBride is weak and only the defense attorneys who got good deals from him because he is a terrible trial lawyer thinks he is a "good guy". I hope he goes down with RSS

@7:12 I don't think it's the same three people posting. I know Jamie personally and this is the first time I've posted here on this subject. Jamie is a great person. He doesn't deserve any of this.

/not a terrible trial lawyer

@11:29 I know Beasley, Turk and Stanley Alexander. All three of them are great people. None of them deserve any of the crap that they have received either. They were merely doing their jobs. Jamie made a decision to stay with Robert. Both Turk and Beasley left the SOB years ago.
Jamie McBride is no better than anyone else. This is my first time posting on this subject as well and my point is there is a lot of folks like the one I just named that don't deserve their names drugged through the mud. It pisses me off that the white guy, is the only one anyone has any sympathy for--even though he made a conscious decision to remain loyal to that idiot.

Where I come from "great people" don't sell out their friends. Jamie is a spineless jellyfish of a man, who now has to stand up for being loyal to his paycheck. Same that bleeding heart crap for someone else.

1:10 I know Jamie McBride and your comment reflects no knowledge of the actual person I know. Jamie also was simply doing his job, writing a memo to his boss (no one else) at the request of his boss. He has been caught up in situation not of his making, and not having violated any law (or indicted for any specified infraction) and should be release accordingly at the first opportunity.
