Legal community reacts to DeLaughter's plea

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Members of the state's legal community are reacting to DeLaughter's guilty plea.

"I've known Bobby DeLaughter for many, many years and this is a great surprise to me. He was a courageous prosecutor when I was a deputy sheriff a good judge. It's heart-breaking to see this system but I think we got to look very close at where were at in our justice system," said Lieutenant Governor Phil Bryant.

"DeLaughter unfortunately is not a person anyone can look up to he has disappointed the bench, the bar, and more importantly his family and he sold his soul to the devil," said attorney Bill Kirksey.
