Who stuck up for Lindsey Whiteside in court? Desoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton wants the public to know. The District Attorney filed a little motion Thursday.
The former Youth Pastor at Getwell Baptist Church was convicted of sexual battery of a child last week in Desoto County Circuit Court. Special Circuit Judge Andrew Howorth sentenced her to serve three years on house arrest even though Mississippi law bars such a sentence.

Convicted by a jury of his peers of sexual battery to a child, sentenced (illegally?) to three years’ house arrest, under a sealed record?
I hope the DA is appealing the sentence, too.
But yes, we need some DeSoto sunshine for sure.
I'd like to read the response by the defense before forming an opinion on this one.
I do agree that the sentencing in this was absurdly lenient but Barton is a pandering doofus, not to mention wildly incompetent at his job. Ask any attorney or judge in Desoto County. He’s doing whatever he can to keep getting on supertalk.
Agreed! Talk about something hard to defend....this is going to make the story have even more legs.
Is there a difference between a witness offering sworn testimony in the court vs someone submitting a mitigation statement to the court?
You have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Matthew Barton is a guy that's kicking ass and taking names. Why?... because he actually
intends on doing the job that he was elected to do. DeSoto County is behind you Matt....keep going.
Most elected MS "officals" top to bottom are worthless pieces of shit, and terrified that they won't get re-elected, so they go along with all the other elected useless idiots and don't "make waves" attempting to "be nice". Mississippians statewide are sick of its "old guard" men and women that do NOT care about them, or its children or its famlies. They're nothing but simpleton,
impotent do-nothings.
Following the mandate of your constituent voters is called courage fueled leadership......not pandering. Mike Hurst is another one such leader - as a frame of reference - who it was once said would "prosecute his mother" if need be....well look at him now.
Trying to work in Trump comments on this post? Not happening.
Just think, if she went to prison for this no one would be talking about it. She deserves jail time for what she did. It’s good someone is calling this stuff out.
