Perhaps if the Hinds County District Attorney and judges did their jobs, perhaps a poor woman would not have been carjacked in Crystal Springs a few days ago. The Copiah County Courier reported last week:
A 48 year old man is behind bars after a carjacking at the Stuckey’s Gas Station in Gallman, MS.Hmm..... Michael Millender, where have we heard that name before? Oh, that's right, he was defended by the D.A. four years ago.
On Tuesday, March 19, 2019 around 4:00pm, the Copiah County Sheriff’s Department responded to the emergency 911 call. Upon arrival, the female victim told deputies that a male subject forced her out the vehicle and sped off leaving the victim on the ground nearly running over her.
Investigation revealed through store surveillance that the suspect force the victim out of the car as she pulled into the parking lot and sped off in her vehicle heading south toward highway 51. The vehicle was a white 2015 Toyota Camry.
The Sheriff’s Department continued search of the vehicle throughout the evening when they later received information that the vehicle was mobile in the City of Crystal Springs, MS.
Approximately 10:30pm, technology led deputies directly to the vehicle and suspect on East Cayuga Street in Crystal Springs without incident.
Michael Bernard Millender of Raymond, MS was arrested for carjacking and possession of controlled substance and currently being held in the Copiah County Detention Center. Article.
Clinton Mayor Phil Fisher urged the D.A. to prosecute four suspects to the fullest extent of the law at a press conference held at Clinton City Hall. An outraged Robert Shuler Smith barged into the press conference where the Mayor and D.A. verbally traded licks to the delight of the reporters present. JJ reported Clinton police arrested Millender:
3. Warrant issued for one count of commercial burglary: Michael Millender, B/M, 03-30-70, 45 YOA, last known address: 420 Clinton Raymond Road, Raymond, MS...A grand jury finally indicted Millender on February 26, 2016 - 10 months after the press conference. Millender is a repeat felon as he was convicted of both felony shoplifting and grand larceny in 2013. Millender has apparently been residing in the Bolivar County jail as a writ of habeas corpus was filed on December 22, 2017. However, he was sprung since he was free to carjack someone. Meanwhile, the prosecution for Millender's 2016 indictment is still pending in Hinds County Circuit Court while he carjacks away.
He (Smith) said cases are reduced when crimes can not be proved. He repeatedly disagreed that a press conference should be held over "four people." He point blank said they were "not terrorizing" the community. He called the press conference a "political attack" on him and his office. He said saying "citizens were being terrorized was absolutely false." He said "we are talking about four people out of thousands and thousands." Rest of article and video.
Hmmm..... does the D.A. consider carjacking to be "terrorizing"?

Kingfish has provided excellent (yet appalling) background to this current story. It's this kind of thing that makes us seriously question the mental state of Shuler Smith. Please tell me Smith does not represent the norm (among the legal/court profession/system) in Jackson and Hinds County. Surely the entire system is not this 'out of whack'.
Justice in third world countries is more effective.
Fisher should have another press conference. See if RSS shows up
RSS - criminal defense attorney masquerading as a District Attorney on the taxpayers' dime.
+
Taxpayers who pay the District Attorney - those who are being terrorized by the catch and release system that RSS is an integral cog in the wheel, and who repeatedly re-elect RSS.
=
A broken system where the terrorized continue to elect the machinery that keeps the terrorists terrorizing the terrorized. (No wonder everyone moves out of Hinds County at the first opportunity they get.)
And RSS is running for Governor? Oh good Lord!! His eyebrows have definitely been pulled to tight!!
Why no comment about the teenager who was shot while walking down the street in northeast Jackson? The majority of readers of this blog are residents of northeast Jackson.

Why do I get the urge to pluck RSS eyebrows? Is it just me. Am, I just sick of seeing those Caterpillars.
LEAVE MISS ROBERT ALONE!
It would be interesting to see the D.A. and judges, along with the catch and release criminals and the multitude of victims organized like a family tree. I’m sure the visual representation of all those victims leading back to a relatively small group of repeat offenders and an even smaller group of judges would be worthy of an interstate billboard come election time.
Judge Jeff Weil case? Wonder why the judge didn’t revoke his bond? Raise his bond at arraignment? Why is it a 2016 indictment and Judgee Weil didn’t set the case on the docket?
