Ferguson is the most despicable excuse for a judge that there can be. I'm so grateful that I never had to go before him. His partner in crime, Denise Pomeroy, should be doing time. They could share a cell, but oops, it appears that Ferguson likes boys. He'd enjoy a tight-fittin' cell with an inmate. But then, what would he do with the boyfriend that lives with him now? hmmmm..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-1366537150045642452009-12-29T22:33:31.273-06:002009-12-29T22:33:31.273-06:00Looks like you have an interesting Web site. Look ...Looks like you have an interesting Web site. Look forward to checking it out.<br /><br />I'm well aware of the content of my blog posts about the Minor case--I wrote them. If you take them to mean that judicial corruption is fine in some states but not in others, I think you are reading something into them that isn't there.<br /><br />I don't know what happened in your case, where you were represented by Mr. Minor. But the government's criminal prosecution was built on two cases--Archie Marks and Peoples Bank--and both underlying cases were decided correctly, based on the facts and the law. So by definition, no one acted corruptly and there could not be bribery or fraud.<br /><br />The financial favors Minor did for judges were legal under Mississippi law at the time. They shouldn't have been legal, in my opinion, but they were. <br /><br />The key issue: Did Minor receive a benefit because of those gifts to which he was not entitled? And the answer is no. He won the Marks and Peoples Bank cases because, under the law, he should have.<br /><br />Under the government's theory, a lawyer who contributed to a judge's campaign could never win a case before that judge. If he did, it would be considered a crime.<br /><br />That, of course, is nuts. And it's not how the federal law reads.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-43361687819168772162009-12-29T22:04:40.486-06:002009-12-29T22:04:40.486-06:00Legal Schnauzer.

What was the styling of the case Mr. Minor handled for you and what was the outcome?<br /><br />If Mr. Minor represented you and was bribing Judge Whitfield, then it stands to reason that you received a good result. What's your complaint?<br /><br />Was your case part of the government's indictment against Mr. Minor? If not, how do you know Mr. Minor committed crimes in your case and how do you feel entitled to compensation?<br /><br />Where have I ever said in my blog that judicial corruption is fine in one state and not in another?legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-59475081421250834322009-12-29T18:35:12.150-06:002009-12-29T18:35:12.150-06:00Biloxi has a great point.

Also the rotten economy means the bribe money isn't flowing like it used to. SO there may be some hope of getting some justice at least until the economy recovers.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-10381677574582834052009-12-29T17:09:51.809-06:002009-12-29T17:09:51.809-06:00I live in Alabama but was a victim of judicial cor...I live in Alabama but was a victim of judicial corruption in Mississippi. Paul Minor was my former attorney and former Judge John Whitfield was my former judge during the time he was being bribed by Paul Minor. Both are in federal prison, but neither were required to compensate me nor others who where hurt by their crimes. <br /><br />One of the biggest problems is judicial immunity which shields judges from compensating those they hurt when judges violate the law or ethics. Alabama is worse than Mississippi, if you can believe that. <br /><br />I called the AIC to research the ease of filing a judicial complaint. At least in Mississippi you can download a judicial complaint form without given your name and address. You have to call the Judicial Inquiry commission to ask for information about filing a complaint, then the reception is more like you had just threatened a judge and start complaining about their reduction in funding. Alabama makes filing a complaint so threatening and intimidating, even the bravest souls wouldn't even attempt it. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the editor of Legal Schnauzer seems to think it is okay to bribe judges in Mississippi, but not okay to have corrupt judges in Alabama. <br /><br />Which way is it? How do can you complain about all the corrupt judges in Alabama but write that somehow it is wrong to jail corrupt judges and lawyers in Mississippi. <br /><br />As I suspected, LS shows favoritism - something like "We should prosecute and unbench bad judges, just not the ones I happen to like." Perhaps that just reflects what is wrong in Alabama. The people judge their judges not on the law and ethics, but whether they like them. Judges rule by the seat of their pants then have to defend their decisions by packing guns.
