Who cares if 'he is a man of his word'. All that matters is that he's a man of law and the constitution.
This appointment is FULLY SUPPORTED by Rankin County (D.A.'s Office, Law Enforcement, others). Thank you, Governor Reeves. This is a great move.
Good judge and good man. Hate to lose him at the trial level
@ 5:03, I doesn’t matter to you if , ‘ he is a man of his word’? You don’t care if a judge is truthful? I’m glad there is only one of you out there...... Jeff
5:10 Why would the fact that the appointment is fully supported by the Rankin County Mafia make this a good thing unless you support corruption?
Now we wait to see what Rankin lawyer becomes "yo honor."
any lawyer who has read E’s opinions is wincing slightly
he does mean well
Thank Jeezus that Goon is gone...
In response to 5:03: Integrity is demonstrated in all aspects of one's life, as is the lack thereof. Without integrity, I don't believe it is possible to be a "man of laws."
He has ruined the lives of many first offenders, almost 100% giving them the harshest and maximum sentences. When they return to society, they are unable to obtain any decent employment, and have no way to support themselves or receive decent healthcare.
Well, he doesn’t understand mercy and rehabilitation. Harsh sentences are appropriate for many but not all. This may be a positive move for society. He can do much less damage to the individual at the COA than in Circuit court. Yes
Rankin County Mafia is for real. The fact they're all behind him is chilling.
Has anyone thought Rankin County fully supports Emfinger because they want him gone? He may be a "good guy" or a "man of his word" at home, but when he puts the robe on he turns into a different person.
Wonder who will be appointed to fill his spot?
8:07 you nailed it! I received many calls asking for my help to get him out of the County! There wasn’t any that wanted to keep him! He also knows a few secrets about Rankin County.
Niknar rules and I am not from there. Rankin County fascinates me. They have consistently held control of powerful positions in government for a long period of time. For the last 15-20 years or so tell me a more influential area of the state?
The judges elected in Madison-Rankin county are not there for there empathetic skills.
Throw-em-in-jail and throw away the key. Especially for a certain segment of society.
