MS is stilll defending Hayne. This is from a COA opinion handed down yesterday.

“¶49. Jones argues his trial attorneys were ineffective for stipulating to Dr. Hayne’s
qualifications and declining to voir dire him concerning his qualifications.9 We acknowledge
Dr. Hayne’s work has received vast criticism as of late, indeed some of it earned. However,
other than the rejection of his two shooter theory in Edmonds v. State, 955 So. 2d 787 (Miss.
2007), our supreme court has made abundantly clear that “Dr. Hayne is qualified to proffer
expert opinions in forensic pathology[.]” Id. at 792 (¶8) (emphasis added). Furthermore,
since Edmonds, the supreme court has consistently found Dr. Hayne qualified to render
expert opinions in the field of forensic pathology in criminal cases.

In other words just because he invented some cockamamie theory once to railroad a child into prison for life (Edmonds), doesn’t mean he has no credibility.

I’m with you Judy! Its a shame too! I would think that they would want to be recognized for being proactive in trying to fix the what is wrong instead of trying to be so secretive! They are just like a dysfunctional family full of dark secrets. But what they are not realizing that what’s done in the dark will always come to light.

I got banned from Jim Hood’s Facebook page for posting that Leigh Stubbs would sign up for the AG’s cell phone notification list if she wasn’t sitting in prison where cell phones aren’t permitted.

I’ll believe that Hood is looking at these 20 cases when I see it…and even then, I inclined not to believe it.

Pfffft!
