It is a forgone conclusion that the Jackson Free Press will endorse Hood for another term. It doesn’t matter how much pablum and half-truths he feeds them they’ll huff then puff but Hood knows they’ll still give him the nod regardless.

Misprision of felony was an offence under the common law of England and was classified as a misdemeanour. It consisted of failing to report knowledge of a felony to the appropriate authorities.

It is still enforced in the US at the federal level but requires active concealment of a known felony rather than merely failing to report it.

Most other countries have have discarded the crime.

Hood is more interested in drawing a paycheck than doing his JOB!!!! He is letting innocent people sit in prison for things they clearly did not do and refuses to call the DA’s offices on any of it. He’s too scared it will hurt his chances on winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, for his opponent, the GOP is running someone with a fair shot at being even worse than Hood is.

So it’s not like we yokels have a great deal of choice in our AG’s race.

My elderly addled aunt is being thoroughly fleeced by telephone and mail scam artists and his office won’t do anything to help.

“He also wants to make it a felony to witness a felony and not report it.”

How ironic. Isn’t it a felony to tamper with evidence? So if I’m right, HOOD is guilty of a felony since he has not reported Hayne and West…hmmmm?

Hood still is of the mind that people in his position get to make up history and change their story as they see fit and no one can call them on it. Sure, this was true 30 years ago

Nice point-by-point explanation of how Hood is a goddamn liar.

This is such BS that proves Hood is unfit for office. Either
(1) He was duped by Hayne and West, in which case he is so stunningly incompetent and stupid as to disqualify him from any position of authority OR
(2) He used manufactured testimony from people who are established to be frauds to put people in jail and sentenced them to death, in which case he is knowingly corrupting justice. He should be tried and jailed.

And don’t forget about 13 year old Tyler Edmonds. He was acquitted at his second trial the one in which Hayne was not allow to proffer his “two fingers on the trigger” theory.

Plus I don’t think any law passed by the MS legislature was going to hurt Hayne’s ability to testify at trials since the MS Supreme Court deemed him credible and qualified.

Hood sounds desperate.

Hood is lucky he is not in jail with his buddy Dickie Scruggs.
