Thanks nowdoucit. I changed my original link too. Thanks for your kind words about my good friend. He is very thorough. I’ve been impressed myself.

Here’s another link to Coffey’s story. http://tinyurl.com/yv383t

I couldn’t get the other one to work and since he’s known for good reporting, I wanted to check out his story.

NMC, I don’t know where the release came from but my good friend, JMCoffey, the political correspondent for the Commercial Dispatch wrote an article about this. He was telling me all about it last night. I haven’t read either one yet. I’ll try to post a link if I can. Now I am off to read. Thanks, NMC.

On edit, I changed the link to a more direct link rather than a link I found by searching.

Great story, NMC, I’ve followed it here – which means I’ve only seen a “snapshot” of the big picture you provided.

As to being happy to read something positive about the AG, left me first state that my interest is justice – nothing else for Hood or any of the others.

Secondly, no one would be more surprised than Hood himself to find me suggesting that there is more evidence on his side than recognized. The man barely had time to hang up his coat after taking office his first term before we had, shall we say, a difference of opinion.

Maybe it’s that up-close and personal experience with the way he thinks and the close eye I’ve kept on him thereafter that causes me to question what others accept. Nonetheless, the man on the stand in Natchez is one I’ve seen before – overly cautious about making a mistake to the extent it creates the wrong impression.

As to the rest, time will tell.

Amazing story, NMC. It’s to the great credit of the Innocence Project that they not only worked to free the innocent but also collared the (allegedly) guilty party in the process.
