Ray Blanton was in it up to his crooked neck.

HE is the first thing I thought of when I read the article.

Me too......I just had to be sure......;)

[razorback-bert]

Just a Ray of Blanton sunshine!

[IgnorerOfLiberals]

All Democrats are murderers.

Blanton was defended by Labor Lawer Supreme, John McClellan. McClellan never attended law school

All were rotten to the core.

In a surprise to the world, Lamar Alexander the newly elected governor was sworn and occupied the governor’s offices nearly a month before the normally scheduled formal January inauguration.

Blanton was deprived of his last days in office to accomplish his nefarious pardons and other such acts

“Yes. Pusser was a Republican and was assassinated before he was able to run for higher office...”

Pusser was not assassinated, he died in a car wreck.

[Dawgreg]

Pusser was not assassinated, he died in a car wreck.

Have you got proof of that? With all that happened to him and his family caused by a vicious band of criminals who tried to kill him before and killed his wife, what makes you so sure it wasn’t an assassination that was finally successful???

Pusser was killed on Aug 21, 1974, while driving East on HW 64 in a Corvette. I had ridden with him and he drove fast when he could. One time we made it to Memphis to the IHOP from Selmer in forty minutes. The place on the road just West of Adamsville can be tricky if you are driving fast and not paying attention as that was a two lane back then.

Bill Leech, the Tenn AG that removed Blanton and the LE officer at the removal, Steve Browder, were both good friends.
