This case sounds shaky. A young Black man with no criminal history, in a small southern town, shoots the police son of the local police chief in a drug raid "gone bad". No drugs are found in the house. Why aren't the NAACP or Jesse Jackson and company jumping all over this one and trying to get more information and/or fight for this guy?

That's an excellent point. If the NAACP is about what they claim to be- this ought to be red meat for them. Might be worth popping over to their website for a search to see if it is mentioned anywhere.

As for Jesse- I don't think that there's any money in it for him- so I'll be surprised if he lifts a finger.

It is rather amazing that the NAACP or someone has not highlighted this case. But it has recently started being discussed at TalkLeft.

I can not find any Mississippi Appellate court decision on this case on the State's web site [http://www.mssc.state.ms.us/]. Anyone know if the case has been reviewed by an appellate court yet?

In addition to the NAACP, shouldn't the NRA have some comment or opinion? Why has this case been so completely overlooked by parties that one would assume have an interest in the issues?
