Anthony Fox is going from defense to offense after getting out of prison. The Clinton police officer sued the State of Missisisppi in Hinds County Circuit Court Tuesday.
Ironically, the case was assigned to Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten. Because of the Goon Squad sentencings, yours truly doesn't have the time to devote to this story it needs this morning. However, the brief lawsuit is posted below.

Too bad Chocwe can't be sued in his official and personal capacity for pushing this to the guilty outcome.
What kind of d-bag files a complaint without numbered paragraphs? Seriously.
Good for him. I hope that he prevails with a huge settlement.
9:45 While others might wonder why your question matters, I agree. Also, does anyone care about spelling and grammar anymore?
The above filing, while probably "good enough to get the point across," is sloppy.
No surprise here. The AG’s office will represent the State. Seems to me that the legislature should require the DA’s office that prosecuted defend such suits and that the county in which the prosecution was brought bear liability. That would have the effect of heading off dubious cases such as this one, one would hope.
Why sue the State of Mississippi ? It was Hinds County that pursued the case and prosecuted him, not the State. In fact, it was the State (via the AG) who helped get his conviction reversed.
And will Judge Whooten recuse herself ? If she doesn't, this case is dead on arrival. She thought he was guilty, so she won't hold the State (or County) liable for prosecuting him.
@9:45 Many complaints are filed without numbered paragraphs, especially in state court.
@11:40 The legislature is in session. Give them a call.
Only maniacs draft complaints without numbered paragraphs. I've maybe seen one in 19 years.
It's simple. There are no numbers because they are more paragraphs than the writer has fingers and toes.
Unnumbered paragraphs? Is that all you gerbils have to contribute to the reversal of this travesty of justice?
And he's a douche-bag for not providing numbers? It's real easy to see that some of you cretins supported the original miscarriage of justice. Clear as a bell.
Duck, those first stones are a flying!!
He was wrongly imprisoned and your most important thing to note is no paragraph numbers?!
State got their ass kicked by.................you guessed it..................State!
Good! Bring it to them Fox!
In practice for over 20 years. Never seen a complaint without numbered paragraphs.

All the answers to your questions are out there in the law. There is a thing called Google, it’s magical. Get your comments
@6:01 - I know how to Google. I don't know how to find 11:58. Can you help?
It’s a petition, not a complaint. How many of you legal geniuses have filed such a petition? And I think we know from which government building these comments are coming from.

It’’s a petition? They really spelled petition in all caps COMPLAINT
I actually thought the complaint was well written and compelling.
Not sure the state can deny any of the facts asserted numbered or not.
Rule 10 (b) of the MRCP second sentence
He is clearly suing the state because it has the deepest pockets. But, this will (should) be tossed quickly. The state wasn’t liable. Hinds County was. Hinds county is broke though.
The case was State of Mississippi v. Anthony Fox. D.A. prosecutes for the state.
There is a state statute whereby wrongfully convicted persons are given $50,000 a year for every year they were incarcerated. He is entitled to it. Doesn't mean that that idiot Wooten will do the correct thing.
Kind of funny that the presiding judge over this is the same judge that put him in prison.
