Wonder if he has bundles of cash in his freezer at home-

At least he served his sentenced time in prison

Just one more of the many thieves and crooks in the State of Mississippi. The amount of the prosecution costs, incarceration costs and all other costs should be deducted from his PERS account. We have to stop rewarding thieves with fat retirements.

It's buried in his back yard next to the small crepe myrtle, but don't tell anyone.

Cecil is a pretty good person. I would guess that these terms were handed down by Epps and he felt like he had to play the game.

So many wasted years for so many that could be better served in some public endeavor.

"A Republican, McCrory was elected to District 60 at the same time voters were ousting longtime Rankin County Chancery Clerk and political kingpin Irl Dean Rhodes after allegations he'd misappropriated nearly $1 million of public funds.

Rhodes was among the chief targets of then-State Auditor Ray Mabus' Operation Pretense. He was indicted but the charges never stuck.

"He started in politics when I was chancery clerk," Rhodes said of McCrory. "When he first started running for office, that's how I met him. He was a nice guy." https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2014/11/08/alleged-kickback-scheme-mccrorys-connections-vast/18739671/

How long before he's back at the Sherriff's saturday coffee meetings @ McClain?

Former Rankin County Deputy. He will still get his PERS benefits just like Epps. He was probably enjoying the income while he was sitting in the pokey. If you want to bitch about PERS’ 13th check, consider that convicted felons who made their way up the ladder to steal taxpayer money are still stealing it long after the fact.

@10:31 "A pretty good man" is a stretch if one has scruples.

Yes, these were 'terms handed down by Epps" - I know, I was offered similar terms on a deal or two with Epps. But I chose not to participate - the sale and personal gain wasn't worth it to me, and I didn't even factor in the thought of a prison term as an eventual part of the deal.

Just because that was the requirement of the one signing the contract doesn't mean that one has to participate; but if one does, they no longer qualify as "a pretty good man' in most people's book.

It is my hope that he uses his experience to help others avoid those types of actions. None of us can polish our own halos, thus crowing about others’ bad actions is not all that helpful. Cecil served his sentence and now may he pick up his role as one who helps people.

Didn't Cecil first hop on the PERS gravy train when he was a Rankin County Justice Court Judge about 1980? Before he got on with the Rankin County Sheriff's Office?

Mississippi where you could become a judge in Rankin with only a high school diploma?

Still can't figure why it seems like stuff goes wrong all the time.

11:17 You can sit on the US supreme Court with the same qualifications as a Mississippi Justice Court Judge.

Wouldn't be the biggest surprise if we get to that kind of finding out with the Supreme Court in the next few years.

Pay-offs and kickbacks, just the way things are done very often in Mississippi. Public Service Commission included…
