If this was a crime someone had done before, I don't think he, she, or they would have left Jessica alive and thus able to speak to first responders, if that is indeed what happened. Bit of a big misstep, that.
What stood out to me in the Panolian article was the word "corruption".
Sherriff Darby is a 30 year seasoned Law Enforcement professional working with local, state and federal government and the general public. He knows what the word corruption means. It does not refer to the general public or even drug dealers. "previously unknown drug connected corruption, death threats and 'some really rough people' Panola Countgy Sherriff Darby said during a recent meeting of the Batesville Exchange Club." "With drugs you have corruption, you have stealing, you'll have robbery," he said.
Corruption generally refers to people in power, not you and me or criminals. "dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers)"

IMO it's not worth speculating who he is referring to - Police, Judges, Lawyers, elected officials - he may not know yet, but it is a definite part of his talk. Makes more sense now that we know that DEA is involved as well.
What really bothers me are the facts presented or confirmed in this "talk" given to the Batesville Exchange Club. With a public chomping at the bit for updates and information, fear in the community, nothing in the news except for extremist blogs and the consensus that nothing is known or happening, it seems to me the Sherriff could have held a press conference and let this information public.
Among other things, this it the first time I have seen Mexico mentioned on an official level, which is something I have felt all along, or even the confirmation of gasoline as the accelerant doused on her and proven by testing. This kind of negates any speculation of rolling meth lab or a shake and bake accident or set up, so I for one am willing to scratch that one. Also "the person we suspect". Have we heard this before? A particular suspect? Last I read they had nothing - no one.
So my biggest question is why was the DA so evasive on these details?
:cow:
Isn't there an election going on?
I have no opinion on the merits of any potential case right now other than to say that it I think it would seriously and needlessly derail valuable resources needed to continue the investigation.
Well, I do have opinions of course, lol! The ONLY reason to file any lawsuit would be to get money. It wouldn't help anything except to fatten the purses of lawyer and family. Bad move PR-wise for certain family members that already have questionable motives regarding money.
I also don't see the family paying for an investigator given that they're hawking ghoulish trinkets for smoke money and personal items, not putting it towards a reward or investigator or anything to help the investigation. My totally and completely subjective judgmental opinions are based on months of seemingly inappropriate behavior and very odd comments from their own mouths.
Any lawsuit that may have merit could be filed at a later date.

<snipped> BBM - there's that word again.
"Darby came to circuit clerk’s office less than 30 minutes before the deadline. Some people who live in Panola County say they don’t understand why he waited until the last minute. Darby says it’s important for him to run for sheriff.
“There’s so much corruption and bad going on and we’re after them and we will continue to do that, we’ve made over 1,000 felony arrests for drugs alone. We’ve taken a toll on gangs, we’re going to continue to come after them,” he said."
Maybe the reference to corruption involves suspects in Jessica's case and other crimes in Panola County who have prior arrests and received light sentences or were paroled after committing serious crimes.? That would of course involve corruption on the part of judges, previous DA's and even governors.
I've also been told by a friend of mine who grew up outside of the Batesville that many doctors in that area will write Rx's for anyone and for anything as long as there is payment, and that many of the street level illegal drug dealings come down from Memphis. I'm sure some of what will be uncovered by LE will even cross state lines.
Seems like Jessica's tragic murder has shed light on a bad situation in this quiet little town in MS.
Unfortunately, "corrupt" is a word the corrupt can also use, as misdirection to mask their own misdeeds.
The Panolian article dated April 17, 2015 Please, if anyone can tell me how to get a large, legible graphic that takes up only a small amount of kbs, let me know!![]()

This was my initial thought, and the most likely probably, but seems like one of the men heading up the investigation wouldn't make a mistake in naming agencies working the investigation. JMO
I'm beginning to think that Darby knew who committed this crime early on. I think that's why they said at the first press conference that an arrest would take awhile. How could they say that unless they already knew?
He said it to buy time, I reckon. That does not mean a payment could be guaranteed.I'm beginning to think that Darby knew who committed this crime early on. I think that's why they said at the first press conference that an arrest would take awhile. How could they say that unless they already knew?
That makes sense. How would they know they wouldn't find the killer the next day or the next week? I never thought about that. Good point, MotherOcean.
