The would-be replacements for former Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens are starting to throw their hat in the ring.
The Secretary of State's website reports Marvin Sanders and Darla Palmer qualified for the race. Greta Mack Harris, Wendy White, and Gwen Agho are expected to enter the race as well. The qualifying deadline is August 20.

Are any of them worth a single shit? We want the thugs thrown under the jail. Yes, I mean all of them and for any reason. If they are smoking dope in their car, they ought to get ten years. And we want someone to prosecute the vagrants that camp under bridges, shit on the sidewalk, and trash up every intersection and abandoned building in town. We want them locked up for years so they will get sober and stop using the cash idiots give them at intersections to buy dope and stop breaking into buildings. And, furthermore, we want the people parking in handicap that are far from being handicap (although, maybe mentally) and are far from being employed too, to be locked up for 20 or more years. Sick of it. So dang sick of it. They are going to create vigilantes if they don’t lock these animals up.
Please, fellow Hinds Countians, do not elect a woman for this role. This is a man’s job. An aggressive man’s job. Women are great at a lot of things, but they are too emotional to be judges, cops, DAs, mayors, or any other type of political leader. If the defendant starts crying in the court room, they will get sad and let them go.
Gwen was born with a medical condition where she has no backbone. May know the right thing to do but scared of judges and perception so she fits right in with the rest of the incompetent people at that office.
Those prosecuted by Ashley Allen and Kathryn Newman would say otherwise.
Haven't seen a Darla since Spanky and The Gang. Go Darla.
@ 4:40, we see you Marvin. Sorry she put your clients in the clink
Check out Darla Palmer's Facebook profile picture or #I'mWithJody Gwen Agho or Geta(spelled wrong) Mack Harris on YouTube. WTH
Although it does not seem to be a quality the voters of Hinds County require for their District Attorney, I know Marvin Sanders to be a man of integrity.
4:38pm dang you are off the chain, cool your jets, I agree with you on the handicapped parking. Should be $1000 fine but the Mississippi Senate and Legislators are spineless on this subject!
Andy did a pretty good job for Warden Norton in Shawshank Redemption, maybe Jody can do a little DAing from his jail cell while he is in the pokey. All on the side, of course.
Yes, DA needs to be aggressive on crime. But the position requires administrative experience as well. Let’s see who has a plan to manage and staff the office so the ADA’s can get after it. Or will the DA be like the Jackson department heads and just whine about funding as a peremptory reason not to get results?
Whichever one is the most incompetent is the one the hinds county voters will elect.
If there was a "like" button I would be agreeing 100% on the comment about Ashley Allen and Kathryn Newman. They are fierce in the courtroom.
Gwen Agho has my vote. She is an extremely talented prosecutor with a long career ahead of herself.
You could get Attila the Hun as your DA but if you have ineffective/incompetent judges you’re wasting your time.
Judge Roy Bean for Chief Judge.
I wish one who worked under and was mentored by Rober Shuler Smith would run-
Wouldn't that be Gwen? Seems like the only people she's worked for are extremely problematic.
Darla Palmer represented that animal POS Quenton Tellis, who burned that young lady to death, then murdered in Louisiana.
Sanders
That's her job.
Incel at 4:40 - Yeah, your last manly man DA will soon be incarcerated. Too bad we didn't have an honest, ethical, competent woman in the job instead of your preference.
Exactly
Will the people of Jackson elect a person who has the idea they can do the same as the last one? Maybe they should post that it is not a part time job.
