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.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
