Famed Mississippi judge falls hard

-
Judge Bobby DeLaughter will become federal inmate #12930042 within one hour; if not, it will either be because he's a suicide or a fugitive. What a way to commence the new year!


His successful law career and distinguished rise to the bench are earmarked by the long overdue murder conviction of Byron de la Beckwith, the smug racist sonofabitch, who murdered NAACP leader Medgar Evers in the '60s. 

Greed brought down Mr DeLaughter. For all of his scholarship and prestige, he got greedy (bribery), lied about it to the FBI---never lie to them; even if you blow up a whole town or just shoplift a pen you can probably beat the wrap BUT you can't whittle out of being untruthful to the FBI; go to federal prison for selling secrets to Iran or trying to rape the President or yelling, Fire!, in a public place, not for lying to agents---and they nailed his ass.
