1. More Prosecutorial Mischief in Mississippi
by Scott Horton of Harper's
....In his speech last week to the American Bar Association, Attorney
General Mukasey delivered this promise:
If anyone… is found to be handling or deciding cases based on
politics, and not based on what the law and facts require, there will be
a swift and unambiguous response.
The developments in Mississippi show exactly what Mukasey’s
promise is worth.

2. Hammett says he set up pay for Schmitz
By David Holden of the Huntsville Times
....."Mr. Palmer complained that Mrs. Schmitz didn't show up for work,
not only didn't she show up for work, she did not show up at all," he
said.
....Watson [one of Schmitz's lawyers] focused on Johnson's guilty plea
in March to 15 federal criminal charges. Johnson admitted his
involvement in a scheme to steal $18 million intended for public use.
He said he and family members received about $1 million.
Under cross-examination, Johnson admitted he had agreed to testify
against Schmitz in hopes of getting a lighter sentence. A federal judge
is scheduled to sentence Johnson to a term in federal prison in
February.
