Well thers two werent good cops they were lazy dident want to be bothered. They should have made
sure that her papers were good .But it sounds like they did not wont to fool with him or her so the brushed them off now some one is dead and it could be all ther falt. Hope they can live with that!!!In the report they said nothing about her not wonting him arested sounds like to me she wanted him arested and they wouldent the aterney said that they dident know if her papers were good or not they should taken him in and then checked.This is so sad!

I read on another thread somewhere, that at the hospital the wife asked the police NOT to arrest her husband. Would it not therefore be her responsibility also? If the “victim” refuses to press charges, I don’t think there is a lot the police CAN do, unless they see actual signs of abuse. This is why domestic violence issues are so sad-these women want help, but often refuse it when it is right there in front of them, or constantly go back to the environment, until someone ends up severely injured, or dead. Have you seen the billboard-“He only sent her flowers once”-and they are on her casket….

Missippi, Barbour as governor has shown the attitude of officials towards domestic violence as well as how he cares about the financial well being of its citizens. Our law enforcement takes their cues directly from those in charge. When we elect officials who discount violence, violence is normalized. He sent out a Clear message. The family has protested. The sheriff of Jackson county made public statements. You don’t think that is protest when his voice against the gov’ner is basical career suicide? Ask that precious governor why he funneled Katrina relief monies to pet projects then come back and tell us how he must have a reason. With every decision he makes, he illustrates how he feels and thinks. A killer walking free is a slap in the face to the children who lost their mother. We have ZERO TOLERANCE regarding weapons in schools, we need zero tolerance when it comes to violence. Mississippi is not the only state with blood on their hands.

Mississippi, the wifes dad died 2 years ago. Her children were raised by family. That was perfect timing for HB.  The release was carried out, heck yea no one had a say so.  That is a bunch of ####.  I bet you he won’t get re-elected.  There are bank robbers that get more than 19 years.  If HB thinks he is that trust-worthy why isn’t he living in the governors mansion.  HB is governor of a state that is tops in welfares, food stamps, public housing.  Basically MDG got in good with him, a playa and co-erced his way out of murder. As far as one mistake in Mississippi, my second cousin was raped, murdered on old mobile highway in pascagoula in 1963.  She was 14, the homey was released 12 years later.  Do the math, it don’t add up.  Scott Peterson is still sitting in San Quinten Prison on circumstantial evidence.  Nothing was concrete in that case.

i did not said they all are good but we do have some good ones out there.I’m far from one of the good old officers.i’m not and law inforcement at no means.

Yes the people of MS elected Haley Barbour as their govenor and yes he has been a good govenor for the most part.  However in case you have not noticed people are stretched thin financially due to the high gas prices, high grocery prices, increaing energy bills, etc etc etc.  Just because you have not seen ads taken out in poitical forums or newspapers or television ads does not mean that people agreed with the decision.  Let me guess southfan1981 you have NEVER MADE A BAD OR CONTROVERSIAL DECISION IN YOUR LIFE???  Gov. Barbour had his reasons I am sure and maybe just maybe he had a little more insight on this situation than you or I.  Irregardless, I disagree with his decision to release the wife murderer but I am not going to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to protest his decision.  What about the wife’s family, have they lauched a PROTEST OR POLITICAL ADS CALLING FOR BARBOURS RESIGNATION???  If so I haven’t seen or heard of them.  We have to pick our battles.

You must be one of those so called “Good Officers” Debra. All I know if from personal experience with them not doing their jobs, not just on domestic violence but on other isues. My sons bike got stolen out of my house, I reported it, then I found out who did it, I continuously called them to tell them who it was, they did nothing. My house got broken into again and money was taken, they did nothing, someone stole my cd’s(about 100 of them), I told them who and where they lived, again they did nothing. The point being THEY DO NOTHING!! Hey did anybody hear anything more about the cop that just plowed over that old man with his car that was riding his bike to work like he did everyday for 30yrs? I doubt it.

There is always two sides to a story.Baldwin couny
has some good officers.

The state of Mississippi elected their governor. They trust his judgement. Obviously enough people continue to support his decisions, the release was carried out. I didn’t see protests, I didn’t see ads taken out by Political Action Committees, I havent heard anyone calling for his resignation. So, it appears that voters and citizens have normalized violence. But then again, so have law enforcement in Bay Minette.

Below the belt hit on that comment.  Though I do not agree with Gov. Barbour pardoning or whatever it was he did to the wife murderer a few weeks back, Mississippi does punish people for domestic violence and murder.  Do not characterize the whole states judicial system by one act of our Govenor, not everyone agrees with what he did, as a matter of fact I am not sure you could find 10 people in the state that agree with what Gov Barbour did with the wife murderer.  Of course what I do not understand is how a MURDERER was even allowed to be a TRUSTEE.  In my mind to be a TRUSTEE means that the Sheriff must have some sense of TRUST in the person that they will do the right thing in the future and that whatever landed them in jail was simply a one time lapse in judgement.  But then again that is just my opinion.
