Mr. Alex...In response to February 7, 2015 at 9:4AM<br /><br />Mr. Alexander has a reputation for appearing in scheduled court proceedings in a timely manner. On the occasions that I have observed him as a representative on behalf of the State of Mississippi, he has always been prepared for the task at hand and presented his case in an intelligent and concise manner.<br /><br />Court files statewide reflect that he seldom requests that a case be continued on Motion of the State, if ever. Additionally, most judges before whom he has appeared, if asked and presented with the court file, would agree that he often opposes Defendant Motions for Continuances that do not appear to be for good cause.<br /><br />I do not know if Stanley Alexander is considered a contender for the job of District Attorney for Hinds County, but I do know that he as well as several others whose names have been mentioned would be viable alternatives to Mr. Smith.<br /><br />Although Mr. Smith appears to be a nice man, he has been given almost eight years to represent the State of Mississippi and the victims of the Hinds County Circuit Court Districts. It is time for a change and unlike you I know nothing about his, or anyones "brain", but it appears that HIS "work ethic" has spoken for itself.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-6763548432468247772015-02-07T12:17:40.158-06:002015-02-07T12:17:40.158-06:00Robert Smith hasn't even qualified yet.

D.A.'s earn more than the other State ADA's, he has several investigators who earn more than the AG investigators and they have a full time staff which includes victim assistants, offices and cars, per diem and sick and personal leave.<br /><br />This would well be fine if they earned their keep. That is a job that deserves good pay. The problem is they do not work for that kind of income. Ask around, go visit the courtrooms and the staff; they work for us. Ask for a few minutes of that earned time, if you can get them on the phone or find them at work.<br /><br />The DA could make a small fortune for the tax payers just by civil forfietures alone. That option is given Smith by the MCA and the sheriff but Atty. Smith or his staff are too lazy to act in it.

The point is to try and present the best case possible with the evidence and knowledge provided.
