Vines Avoids Jail Again!

The Natchez Democrat is reporting that Binky Vines was sentenced to one year in jail. However, Judge Webster again suspended the sentence and placed him on supervised probation. What is it with this judge? Jefferson County Circuit Clerk goes to jail for six years for the same crime, but ours gets another slap on the wrist.

The only good news is the judge ordered him to leave office immediately and ordered the Sheriff to take the keys to his office.

UPDATE: Also from the Democrat, Eddie Walker was sworn in as Circuit Clerk. Poor Eddie! He sure has his work cut out for him. However, if anyone can handle it, he can.

Webster is not a judge. He's a liberal wimp.

I can't believe this! But can't they still serve up some more charges on him?

Consistently ruling in favor of people who embezzle money in the six figure range sounds like a conservative.

No, you know Binky is a liberal Demoocrat. Webster is just taking care of his kind. The core of the Democratic Party even voted for him after the arrest, really embarrassing. Hood protected him as long as he could, but he finally gave in to the pressure. Oh, what committees do you think Dearing will get now that Franks was beaten so badly?

dearing is not that well respected in Jackson anyway. For as long as he has been there, he only chairs getting free meals from lobbyist.
