Mosley was prosecuted in Coahoma County Circuit CourtKingfish note: The defendant must repay $19,289 and enter non-adjudication. In other words, steal nearly $20,000, get caught, go home.

Shad's getting soft.
Everyone is doing it. He just got stupid and greedy.
This is likely from one years audit. That’s not theft for personal use. That’s theft for resale. It’s one thing to keep a personal gas can in your government vehicle to fill up and use to top off your wife’s car or your ATV. It’s another to steal hundreds of gallons and sell it. What a moron!
Shoot at a police officer in the 8th Judicial District striking his vehicle and you get 2 years and sent home in 6 months. I would say this gentleman received the proper sentence according to 8 Judicial District standards.
I hate to say it, but it isn't unusual for the thieves in embezzlement cases to go home after they are convicted. They usually end up having to pay restitution, a fine, and any time they are given is usually suspended. It is a real shame, but it seems to be the case more times than not.
The judicial system in the Delta kind of makes it hard for Shad, or any State Auditor, to effectively do his/her job.
Get caught, go home as you say is not at all unusual in the Mississippi criminal justice system. At least he's on the hook for the money. Oftentimes the full amount of restitution is not even adjudicated.
1:30 - Shad's job is running for governor.
Hundreds? Conservatively you're talking 4000+ gallons.
These people are all related/inbred.
But a non-adjudication means - if I'm not mistaken - the crime is not on his record.
Shad doesn't care as long as he gets to drop a press release about how he single handedly with great sleuthing skills sniffed out corruption and pounced on it.
hold your breath for those restitution payments.
The judge and DA may be cousins.
Deputy Coroner? Coahoma County's population merits a Deputy Coroner? Why not it's only taxpayers money.
He's still a convicted felon so he can't own guns
Shad doesn't get to decide the sentence.
He publishes them so y'all can know and hold the ELECTED judges and prosecutors accountable for patty cake sentences.
Tell us you don't understand what non-ajudication means in Mississippi!
"Non-adjudication allows you the opportunity to avoid the felony conviction. Only first time offenders are eligible for non-adjudication."

If a defendant is pl;aced on non-adjudicated probation they have not yet been convicted of the crime.
The guilty plea is held, and the case and charges remain open.
If the specified orders or requirements of probation are successfully completed, then the charge will be dismissed, and the defendant can apply to have the arrest expunged from their record.
2 questions:
With the amount of the embezzlement admitted
to be in excess of $19,000 by a public official is this eligible for non-adjudication?

This is exactly why these elected officials steal NO PUNISHMENT, please post when he repays the stolen money 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Geeze, Andy...I always non-adjudication meant, you know, like...not adjudicated.
For those of you who matriculated in Leland or Shelby, "Non-adjudicated" means a court delays or withholds a final guilty verdict for certain first-time offenders, allowing them to complete probation or other conditions (like classes, community service, fines) to potentially get the charges dismissed and avoid a permanent criminal record, though the specifics vary by state (like Mississippi's DUI program).
It's, er-ah, a chance to keep a charge off your record by proving yourself, but failing means facing the original conviction and penalties.
It's like wunna them "My boy ain't did nuffin" thangs.
