Does Hood have <bold>any</bold> honest friends?

Hey reddneck, do you have any.  Just because you don’t like Hood doesn’t mean he is guilty by association.

It’s hard to believe their are guilty of fraud in a civil context and haven’t also possibly broken some state criminal laws and/or committed serious ethical violations.

This certainly sounds like a case for the Mississippi Bar. 

It also points out the need for an independent counsel that would allow the AG to recuse himself and appoint a investigator/prosecutor to find out whether or not laws were broken without the burden of a potential “family” conflict.

You are barking up the wrong tree here, Alan Lange.  When are you going to get it through you thick head that just because someone donated money to his campaign dosen’t mean Hood is guilty of what they are.  IDIOT!

Growing up there was seen a writing found on many restroom walls that stated; “fools names like fools faces, always seen in public places.” This was I always thought in response to the number of names seen scribbled here also.
It seems to apply also to crooks. It’s amazing to see when one of those caught in his misdeeds is brought to justice, the number and who his cronies are.
This brings to mind another saying,"birds of a feather flock together”.

Has Hood offer to return any of his contributions?

I don’t know all the specifics of the case, but I think there are those in jail or have been in jail for bribery during Ronny Musgroves tenure. I do remember Ronny being asked if he were going to return the money and his reply was that he would not as he had done nothing wrong.
From the little I know of law it seems odd to me that anyone could go to jail as a bribor unless there was a bribee. The money exist and he was the recipient and refused to relinquish same.
It seems that in our judiciary system it is more about who you know than what you know.
