By the way, if the wife tried to drop the charges, they could have reduced it to simple assault domestic violence, which does not need her consent.

From what i know, she did not ask to have the charges dropped. She was pretty vocal about it on Facebook.

Prosecutors have no crystal balls to see into the future. This is adolescant second guessing.

They would still need her evidence to convict of anything, even a misdemeanor.

Stick to Hinds County politics, you are pretty good at that. This, not so much.

Well we can fix that, can't we?

Has anybody checked Batman's whereabouts on the eve in question?

Kingfish,

Before you go attacking the prosecutors, get a copy of the file. It may have been a terrible case, nobody knows at this point. I dont see why they would have remanded it if it was a very good case and I bet its possible (as often is in cases of domestic violence) that she may have agreed to it. I am not saying she did but I dont see why they would just remand a good case just for the hell of it.

So the DA presents the case to the Grand Jury for indictment, gets that indictment, and then remands it?

If they didn't think they had a prosecutable case, why waste the time and energy on a Grand Jury presentation? If they thought they had a good case, why remand it after an indictment?

There has to be more to this than the limited information known so far.

That type music gives me a headache.

Charges were dropped against Jason Miller, 28, 4005Enterprise Road, Summit, after he completed a pre-trial interventionprogram. He had been indicted for failure to support minor children.

He apparently learned nothing from this earlier run-in with the law except that he can escape punishment from the justice system.

We don't protect women from abuse. If a woman is murdered, it's most likely her husband or boyfriend who did it and there will have been a complaint.

What would the maximum sentence have been had he been convicted of domestic abuse? Would the protections for the woman be as good when he got out or non-existent? Would she even be notified he'd been released? Who'd have been on trial during the case...him or her?

plea bargains and dismissals happen every day in every jurisdiction in this country. every prosecutor that engages takes the risk that the defendant will committ another crime. it happens. then some arrogant asshole like KF squeals and points the finger and crys out that this would have happened if.....

those that can, do. those than can't, blog....

Hey 6:54-

How did the first round of indictments go re: Lincoln County Circuit Clerk? I recall some dismissals. DA? Re-indictments. Why?

There must have been some serious proof/witness problems on that first case. I occasionally have cases in that district. That DA's office is not the type that will toss a case without a good reason.

The judges down there also pay attention to what's going on, so I'm willing to bet there had to be some good cause or the judge would not have signed the remand order.

This Miller guy seems like one of these obsessive/crazy types the system is not designed to stop. The only thing abusers like that understand is violence. The only language they understand is brute animal force. Consequently, the only way to "reform" them is to speak to them in that language.

A little history is always illuminating.

Let me just get some things clear here. First I knew both of them. I grew up with both of them and to be completely honest both of them were a little essentric (for a lack of better words) both participated in hard core drug usage and both participated in violence. Tracy was a rather tall build and skinny, however that chick NEVER backed down from a fight from ANYOnE --male or female. I have seen it with my own eyes and plenty of people have seen them two out together and saw her physically attack Jason like she was a man. No joke. On the other side of it, Jason did not know how to walk away. He had a previous marriage that consisted of repeat ice cheating on him while he was very hound going to work offshore to try to tAke care of his kids and significant other. He should have let go of that relationship long before he did and yes there was so physical abayas associated with that. If he could have detached and left then the physical abuse probably would not of happened. Same thing repeated itself here except he met his match. Tracy miller fought like a man and was not scared of anyone. And I mean no one. This was a toxic relationship with each person contributing to the horrific final outcome. So to unfairly pass judgement without knowing the situation is ridiculous and well ignorant. Some people can cope some people can't. I hate that this ended the way it did and especially for all of the children involved. I however have to question their futures if both parents were alive and free if continuing down this spiraling path of drugs, lies, deception, unstabilty, cheating, and violence. That's my two cents for what it's worth.

From her very close blood relative, your two cents isn’t worth anything not then nor now. You don’t know anything and you should not speak I’ll of the dead. Get a hobby and pray your spouse doesn’t shoot you in the head 6 times while your baby boy tries to pick up pieces of your skull to fix you while his dad kept shooting.
