Was the Mayor of Terry a Federal or a State court and what does that have to do with Ben?

The Mayor of Terry, MS was a duly elected public official. The Mayor was indicted on several counts of embezzlement of tax payer dollars and choose to plead guilty to,at least one count. Please enlighten me as to what aspect of the law, this Motion at issue has to do with the State v. Beni Allen.
This is a question to which anyone who has an idea is free to answer. Thanks

Ben Allen's lawyers should research the average embezzlement sentence in Hinds County and request a sentence commensurate with others, pre trial intervention. I bet Michael Brown's victim is wondering if Hinds will get to his case before Brown is finished serving his Rankin sentence.

@3:36 - The only Hinds county conviction showing on his MDOC prisoner sheet is five years for forgery. If he has to serve all of his time for the Rankin county convictions, and if he lives that long, he'll be about 80 when he's done with that. My hope is that he rots in prison and he never sets foot into the outside world again.

White man stealing public money and black man doing same crime is point of this action.Same time in jail is what is being stated.

3:35 here... correction State v. Ben Allen; sorry for the typo. The question remains, however.

Damn, I must need to go back to Law & Order, S1/Eps 3 and check my legal education. Our esteemed District Attorney states, without question, that the state PROVED all these items of embezzlement. I thought that once the jury found that there was no embezzlement, that would mean that the state DID NOT prove those facts.

Is it me, or does RSS need to go back to law school? He is asking to judge to consider all that he claimed in his simplistic mind of this grand scheme, but the jury --- supposedly of B Allen's peers ---- didn't find those wet dreams to be proven.

Somebody help me out here.

It is all about bleeding Ben financially.

It's difficult to fill out legal documents when you're stoned. Let's just go ahead and get that out of the way so all the drama will die down.

That man is clearly nuts. Unreal.

It looks like it is all about bleeding the tax payers financially, via RSS!

I didn't think you were supposed to practice law under the influence.

7:01 - In what alternate universe? Do you have a full understanding of what you just suggested?

Thank you Kingfish for continuing to tell the truth on JJ and for speaking truth to power. We realize that it isn't the easy road for you to take but it is the only one worth traveling.

RSS IS NOT A LAWYER, HE JUST PLAYS HINDS COUNTY FOR A FOOL!

I don't know who typed this document, but it's obvious they don't know how to spell or use spell check. And this is supposed to be a legal document? JPS at it's best or should I said RSS office workers at their best

I agree with 8:28. It must indeed be a rough road to be the standard bearer for the redaction of social security numbers. That was a mighty brave call and one from which most of us mortals would shrink.

8:28 Thank you for that comment, Ben!

I am definitely no fan of RSS or of Ben Allen but I do know that I personally campaigned for Ben when he first ran for Jackson city council. I quickly learned he could not be trusted as far as his word on votes to be taken, there were a couple of occasions where he promised to vote one way outside the council chambers & then less than 30 minutes later he would vote the opposite. I also know the assessment that is levied on the downtown partners is not voluntary and is collected as a tax levy (special assessment) by the Tax Collector. I don't know if Ben is guilty of all charges but is definitely guilty of poor judgement and misrepresentation.
