it never stops-

I hope I don't have an outstanding library book or Shad may come looking for me.

It was 2000 which the man had already repaid. Seems to me Jones county resources would be better spend if they worked this hard to convict murderers, rather than elected county officials they don't like. I seem to remember not so long ago a young lady turned up dead in a garage under mysterious circumstances and the da and the judge seemed to represent the accused instead of the victim. He was found not guilty in a sham of a trial the prosecutors barely participated in. Sure wish shad would have dug his claws into that case. There is no such thing as justice in Jones county. Just witch hunts if they don't like you and protection from even murder charges if they do.

Shad White is a regular Elliot Ness. Go get them Shad.

...He heard someone say, that it was "The Free State" of Jones.....

Pickering should be totally embarrassed.

Who names anything "The Gentleman's Club" besides those in the business of artist nude dancing?

doesn’t five years sound a little harsh for misspending a couple grand? I feel like people get sentenced to way less time for a much worse crime all the time. I bet most every high ranking government employee in the USA has misspent a couple grand.... at least.

It's disrespectful to refer to the only auditor who has ever done the job as a 'bean counter'. He's not counting beans, by the way; He's arresting criminals.

I agree 6:17AM, it’s not beans he is counting it’s tax dollars that we paid in. In other words it’s our money that he stole. The amount is not relevant. He was convicted of the crime of theft of public funds. We should be thanking Shad for doing the job he was elected for instead of criticizing him for doing it.

@1:36 Reverend Pickering was well aware of the rampant fraud in MS. He just wanted to have a cushy job and chase that pension.

"Reverend Pickering was well aware of the rampant fraud in MS. He just wanted to have a cushy job and chase that pension"

Plus he was scared to death of Rudy's connections.

@10:49 - you do realize, don’t you that he only repaid the money AFTER he was caught and ORDERED to repay it, right? And you do realize, I HOPE, that, ONLY because he repaid it, he got probation instead of jail time. As for it being “only” $2000, that “only” because he was caught sooner rather than later. Criminals don’t get time-off credit for the crime fighting efforts of law enforcement when those efforts result in faster discovery of their crimes.
