“...and an uncaring mindless local population? It’s Mississippi folks.”
And you know all with certainty that the local population is uncaring? I live north of Courtland and south of Memphis. I can attest that even though the story may have died down in the media, that’s not true of local conversation. I have teenage daughters who drive North Mississippi roads by themselves and some of their Christian school classmates are from Batesville (5 miles from Courtland). You can bet this case has had my full attention from the jump. I won’t defend the D.A. or the sheriff, but I promise you there are many aware and concerned Mississippians and they don’t deserve to be painted with such a broad brush.
I don’t know anything about the Panola county sheriff. john champion, the DA is a democrat, as I recall he’s always been able to run unopposed. I’ve never voted for him, in his last election I wrote in Republican Stan Little. hopefully this year john will receive opposition.
Thank you for weighing in, as a local.
