Thank you, petitfour...and thanks for the link!
Funny thing. I was trying to remember where I had heard of Bobby DeLaughter before, so I asked hubby. I thought it was from the movie about Medgar Evers’ murder, but my memory was sketchy. I just looked him up, and he graduated from my high school. (some years before me, I must say) I don’t know much about his politics though I read that Fordice appointed him to a judgeship in Hinds County.
