Sad case, and I would agree...McNairy County, BTW, is terribly corrupt. My mother's family is from that area, and I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
Another county in TN is just as bad. My Dad's bestfriend's daughter-in-law was murdered in a Holiday Inn. Her fiance' was put on trial and acquitted by a jury because he had family connections in the town and she was from Nashville and an "outsider."
This cretin is still walking the earth while her son is an orphan. Her first husband died of cancer at the age of 31.
