Too Sweet says he paid bribes to D.A.

The District Attorney's relationship with Too Sweet apparently went sour.   Robert "Too Sweet" Henderson told the FBI that he paid bribes "directly" to Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith. Too Sweet's testimony was recently submitted by the Attorney General in its prosecution against the D.A.  A Hinds County grand jury indicted Smith in September for three counts of improperly helping defendants. 


Former Assistant District Attorney Ivon Johnson pleaded guilty in July for accepting bribes in exchange for giving favorable treatment to criminal defendants.  He is a witness in State of Mississippi v. Robert Shuler Smith.  Henderson was indicted for two counts of conspiracy to bribe a public official in July as well. Earlier post. Henderson was a convicted drug dealer but Governor Haley Barbour pardoned him as he left office.  However, a grand jury indicted Henderson in August for illegal possession of two firearms.  Too Sweet has a felony conviction in Illinois in 1996.  He apparently had two firearms in his possession when he was arrested in July.  Earlier post. 

 

Mr. Smith told the court that he was investigating the "alleged bribery schemes being perpetuated in his office by members of his staff."  However, the prosecution challenged that claim in a motion submitted on December 2.  Prosecutors claim that Henderson testified he paid bribes directly to the D.A.  The motion states:

3. In point of fact, evidence of other bribery activities are recounted in the FBI 302 report of interview of Robert Earl Henderson (also known as “Too Sweet”) which has been provided to the defense in discovery in this case. In that FBI 302, Henderson recounts numerous instances of monies being passed directly to Smith. Henderson has been indicted for bribery. A copy of the Henderson indictment is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Accordingly, testimony regarding the bribery scheme in which Henderson was involved is admissible under Rule 404(b) to show motive, intent, knowledge, identity and absence of mistake. Admission of such evidence is further authorized to permit the State to tell a complete story and to avoid confusion among the jurors.

 A FBI 302 is a form used for interviews.

Kingfish note: Too Sweet's testimony is somewhat surprising as he is pretty hard-core.  It appears that Too Sweet soured on the prospect of prison and flipped.

Smith was listed as a reference for Too Sweet when he applied for his pardon. Smith's name is on the form. Pardon file can be found at http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/documents/2012/jun/27/henderson-pardon-file/

RSS will not go to jail....this will end tragically I am afraid.

So why hasn't anyone indicted RSS for accepting bribes al la Ivon?

Still waiting on a shred of evidence implicating McBride.

Still waiting on a shred of evidence NOT implicating Smith.

"Money passed directly to Smith". These nuts really want Smith out bad to try to make this fly. "Too Sweet" is going to flip again when he juggles the statement before or at trial. Smith may be a lot of things but with confessed crooks working in his office he's not going to take bribes directly. Really?

Anonymous said...

4:51. Keep up. He accepted bribes before he learned of other crooks in his office. Clueless people are frustrating.

Put Up Or Shut Up.. said...


All these repetitive piss-ant remarks about Ed Peters and nary a shred of evidence or link to any investigation of the man or his practices. If you didn't like him, fine, but PUT the hell up or SHUT the hell up.

Ed Peters rolled on Delaughter not unlike a steam roller.

You are either blind or stupid...or both.

Get a grip on life.

I work there, I know said...

It's messed up, AG and FBI are buying everything that Ivon and Too Sweet are selling, but AG refused to even meet with McBride.

You know absolutely nothing about ANY of those cases envolving Delaughter, Peters, et.al.
That is just stupid. I like both men fine and worked with both. Truth hurts but both are bad guys.

Clara Asks Where's The Beef.. said...

Claiming someone is 'a bad guy' is not exactly supporting documentation and is way the hell far from permissible except in a conversation at Shuckers.

Rolling on DeLaughter is what anybody ought to have done. So, now a man is crooked because he gives honest testimony about a crooked judge? I see how you monday morning lawyers work.

11:59 You have no idea what you are talking about. Making a statement like that just shows how stupid you are. Produce ANY evidence showing McBride did ANYTHING against the law!!!!!!

Peters is a friend....friends still get away w/ bad $#!t. You know where the beef is. I may be real stupid but I am telling the absolute truth.

Ed Peter's Principle said...

Trust me! I'm telling the truth! I worked with him and know! I knew a man who knew a man! I know what I'm talking about and you don't! You have no idea! I do!

Again, nitwits, put up or shut up. DeLaughter, in a court process with a man wearing a black robe holding a wooden hammer, was found to be guilty, sentenced to jail and ruined his career. Peters may be the lowest form of mankind in the nastiest sewer on earth. But he's been convicted of nothing.

Oh, but you knew a man who knew a man and you want us to 'trust you'.

Peters is guilty as hell..., Peters sang like a bird.
He is a friend to no one but himself.
This was not his first or last rodeo.
We all can thank Ed Peters for the gift of Robert S. Smith and what he has cost Hinds County. Those of YOU who work(ed) should not need an explanation.

THAT'S THE BEEF! Clara @ 6:45 AM

Facts:

DeLaughter pled guilty to lying to the FBI.

That was after Ed Peters turned federal informant and stated that he was paid $1M to influence DeLaughter.

For those 2 of you who discount the negativity towards Ed Peters, all you have to do is some internet research.

Tom Freeland and numerous others, including me, blogged about this long ago. The juvenile attempt to rewrite history is out of ignorance, I'm sure, Clara.

Lastly, Clara, Ed Peters "rolling on DeLaughter" was a Ed Peters admitting he accepted $1M to influence DeLaughter in the Eaton case. The person that admitted wrongdoing avoided prosecution and the person convicted, really didn't have any concrete evidence that he was wholly in the wrong except for listening to, what he thought, was a friend.

Google and read. It's a good story and one someone should write a book about.

Clara, put up or shut up your own self! You are never at a loss for words and always make yourself "loud and clear"! Tell us all here and now, because we don't all hang out at Shuckers, what an honest and good guy Ed Peters is. You know him well so give us all of your "supporting documentation".

A Friend Of Clara.. said...

Meanwhile, all you Clara-Haters offer no evidence of Peters' wrong-doing. All you do is tell us what we already know. Put up or shut up. Concrete evidence of a felony. We've seen your Bull but where's your beef?

Anonymous said...

If you friends of Clara know, then you know Peters got a freebie rather than a felony, in exchange for his testimony. He is a thug.

No indictment in exchange for GJ testimony. You FOC's know that; hell we all know that. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking Clara.
Peters is a thug, just like RSS.

Sounds like former Peter's staff.

Somehow McBride needs to duck the crossfire between The AG's Office and RSS.

Peters is a good man???

Peters forked over all his cash, his law license, and testified that he was paid to bribe a judge.

If that is a "good man," you will love RSS and friends.

Hell, in your world, they will be Peoples of the Year.

Nobody said they hare CLARA; she is just vulgar, loud, rude and obnoxious. In fact, she is a decent person.

Anonymous said...

Pathetic...

F.O.C. said...

Clara didn't claim Peters is 'a good man' or 'an honest and good guy' and never claimed he was decent.

She merely asked you to prove your statements about him rather than throwing crap at the wall.

"No indictment in exchange for GJ testimony. You FOC's know that; hell we all know that."

If you have a link to that or proof of the deal, post it. If you post a credible link, both Clara and I will apologize for calling you conspiracy theorists and EP haters.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
