We at the RBPP of Jackson Mississippi are very saddened to know that white DEMONS have stooped to such a disrespectful low-level once again... let it be known these are only misdemeanor charges and we fully support our black brother and hope that he will get over this obstacle stumbling block the enemy has put before him.

For advising criminal defendants

sabi, what exactly does this mean?

It is illegal for police officers and prosecutors to give legal advice to defendants. I have never heard of anyone being arrested for it.

He represents the interests of the people of Hinds County. For him to advise and represent the interests of criminal defendants is a conflict of interest, breach of the public trust, blah blah blah.

Now what amounts to it in practice? Who fricking knows

I mean, did he take bribes or just talk with them and tell them they had best plead out or whatever?

It seems like it could be a very fine line at times.

According to the affidavit, Smith gave Butler’s attorney, Sanford Knott, a letter that outlined ways to attack the state’s case against Butler; met with Butler twice at the Hinds County jail without his attorney present; met with Butler’s family and referred to him as his client; and used the grand jury to pressure a circuit judge to dismiss drug possession charges against Butler
