Mississippi Judicial Scandal Update
The AP reports that Justice Diaz and Jennifer Diaz's attorneys have filed motions to dismiss with the US District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Jackson Division. Among their arguments is my favorite, that the US Attorney has overstepped his bounds by attempting to prosecute a campaign finance case, which is a misdemeanor.
Reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons episodes, when the Judge Harm sentences Homer and Bart to be tethered together. At the end, Lisa saves the day when the regular city judge, whose name I cannot recall, appears after his fishing trip, and Lisa moves for a motion of "Boys will be boys," which is, of course, granted.
I'm fairly certain that Judge Wingate will be responsive to the defense's motion to dismiss if the US Attorney cannot pony up the requisite proof, but I am also fairly certain that Judge Wingate would not have let the charges go if they were in fact outside of the US Attorney's authority.
