1. Justice For Sale
By Larisa Alexandrovna and Muriel Kane for the Jackson Free Press
Almost immediately after his appointment to U.S. Attorney for the
Southern District of Mississippi in late 2001, Dunnica Lampton began
to investigate key Mississippi Democrats.
....The tortuous trail to Paul Minor’s jailing begins in the 1990s, with
the set of history-making cases that several states brought against the
tobacco industry seeking to recover smoking-related health costs.
Minor was among those representing the plaintiffs, along with other
trial lawyers and state attorneys general, including Mississippi Attorney
General Mike Moore.
The tobacco industry settled without going to trial, paying $246 billion
to the states in the largest civil settlement in history. Among those
forced to pay were the four largest tobacco companies: R. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Company, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., Lorillard
Tobacco Company and Philip Morris USA.
