I cannot imagine that a District Attorney openly criticizes a judge unless there is definite evidence of misbehavior. Even then it takes some cojones. The thing is, isn't he now doing what so many of us wanted him to do: calling out Tomie Green as a danger to Hinds County?

However, the ADAs have a decent record on violent crimes, including sex offenses, in the courtrooms of Judges Kidd, Weill, and Gowan. Not so much for Green, who is known for setting low bonds and giving lax sentences. Many guilty pleas in her court are "open" pleas where the defendant does not want an agreed sentence with the DA; they prefer to have Green set the sentence. She does not believe that young people that have committed violent armed robbery with a firearm need to go to prison. The other judges feel differently in most such cases and send most to prison. Green will not change or bow to any pressure because as long as she wants to retain her bench, her voters will blindly vote for her...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-30820902866068068072016-02-15T10:46:58.002-06:002016-02-15T10:46:58.002-06:00Im shocked the FBI doesn't have Greene on thei...Im shocked the FBI doesn't have Greene on their radar....OR DO THEY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-816703904968422042016-02-15T10:43:49.368-06:002016-02-15T10:43:49.368-06:00If a person is healthy enough to commit crimes the...If a person is healthy enough to commit crimes they are healthy enough to be put in jail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88334041743855564892016-02-15T09:21:26.631-06:002016-02-15T09:21:26.631-06:00I think it's time for some poetry.I think it's time for some poetry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88239312466413221532016-02-15T07:26:11.165-06:002016-02-15T07:26:11.165-06:00The " medical condidtion" problem was al...The " medical condidtion" problem was also cited in the Karen Irby case. <br />If it is a matter of funds, it shouldn't be. The same private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid should be reimbursing caregivers for the care while incarcerated. If that is not the case, it should be.<br />So then it becomes a matter of logistics...access to proper care.<br />That can be addressed with a police and medically staffed secure wing in UMMC or an infirmary/ medical wing in the jails where prisoners are held if you don't want medical access to prisoners to be an issue.<br />And, you have to be willing to pay taxes to build it properly. House arrest is cheaper but less efficient. And, we can't put counties or cities at greater risk because they have a lower median income. That's stupid as criminals don't respect geographical boundaries.<br />While we should all support " innocent until proven guilty", I would think a judge could and would consider a past arrest record.<br />If a grand jury indicted, why would all of you assume that a jury would be less likely to convict? At this point, it does come down to the judges.<br />A judge rules on admissibility of evidence. A judge controls the courtroom including allowing or not allowing a defense attorney to " testify' in his remarks without a whit of supporting evidence. A judge determines the delays that can stymie justice. Reasonable doubt becomes doubts created by flights of fantasy!<br />A prosecutor prepares witnesses for the court room experience so they will know what to expect and not be intimidated. He or she has to present evidence in a way the jury can understand it. They have to be prepared for jury selection.<br />Do we need to raise the criteria for those who can run for judgeship and/or do we need to have judges appointed? Do we need more judges and more space for cases to be tried so justice isn't delayed? Do we need better jails? <br />I think we agree there is a problem but choosing up sides at this point is premature. Bitching and constant " problem identification" is not useful once we agree there is a problem and clearly the judge and Mr. Smith agree there is a problem. Now, everyone, needs to start thinking " how do we get to the cause and fix it" !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-71721414843954063632016-02-15T05:59:00.455-06:002016-02-15T05:59:00.455-06:00"Ninety-five (95%) of the time, the bond is a..."Ninety-five (95%) of the time, the bond is agreed to by our District Attorney."<br /><br />With the number of cases in the Hinds County court system, the 5% of bonds that are not agreed to can be ALOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-72005827566708378132016-02-14T22:24:30.648-06:002016-02-14T22:24:30.648-06:00Hinds County elected officials are blatantly, obvi...Hinds County elected officials are blatantly, obviously, and yes, consistently INCOMPETENT!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-35164969708304761202016-02-14T22:10:14.679-06:002016-02-14T22:10:14.679-06:00Jackson is a safe city.
