(h/t the Sun Herald)
“The admitted crimes of the defendants undermine the very foundation of our legal system. They have violated their sworn duty to our judicial system and their obligation to the profession. We have every confidence in the legal system and believe that the punishment to be mandated by the Court will be appropriate under our rule of law.”
Bobby Bailess, President of the Mississippi Bar
“The Department of Justice is committed to enforce the laws of the United States. Illegal acts to undermine our system of justice such as attempts to bribe judges will not be tolerated. In this case, other defendants remain to be sentenced. Our investigation continues. We should not comment further.”
Jim M. Greenlee, U.S. Attorney for Mississippi’s Northern District
Good for Bailess!!!

Bailess: Gives voice to how most lawyers I know feel.
