🚨Another Motion to Suppress Search Granted!🚨
Officer makes legit traffic stop on our client. Tells our client and passenger to get out of the truck.
Searches client. Finds nothing. Searches truck. Finds nothing.

Officer turns to female passenger (not under arrest and not a suspect) and says "open your purse".

Without consent and without a warrant, officer shoves his hand in purse, rummages around, and removes our client's phone.

Officer proceeds to then get a search warrant for phone, subsequently finds what he believes to be evidence of stolen ag equipment, which he uses to indict our client.

We moved to challenge the roadside search, arguing that an non suspect passenger in a car has a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding things in her purse - including a phone.

Fortunately our client was recording on her personal phone during the officer search, and was able to document the officer improperly reaching into her purse in real time. Pic attached.

Judge granted our motion. Phone seizure and subsequent search suppressed.

🚨Case Dismissed!🚨 CLF client pulled over on traffic stop. Did not consent to search. Officer called K9 Unit. Alerted on car. Searched car. Client arrested on possession of small amt of THC gummies and a modified gun.

Upon review of the body cam, officers admitted on audio that dog “was not trained in marijuana”. Also appeared the K9 officer possibly coached the dog to sit and alert. This triggered authority for a search.

Upon filing of our motion to suppress but prior to a hearing, the assistant district attorney in this particular circuit reviewed the evidence, considered it in a new light, and agreed to remand the case. We commend this prosecutor. It’s not weakness. It’s not being “soft on crime.”

In contrast, this is a prime example of a prosecutor considering all the evidence, and doing justice. This was the right result, instead of bogging down a docket with flawed cases.

This was a nice phone call to make to the client, who is an over the road truck driver with a young family.

Proud to introduce our friend and outstanding trial attorney and adjunct law professor Jacinta Hall-Weeden as a speaker at yesterday’s business meeting of the Criminal Defense Section of the Mississippi Bar in Biloxi.
Attorney Hall-Weeden spoke on the Mississippi Rules of Evidence, including some lesser used rules which, if used effectively, can even further improve results for clients at trial.

🚨ANOTHER NOT GUILTY x2!!🚨
After 4 days of trial, a Tunica County jury found CLF client Tony McCray not guilty of Ct I: Conspiracy and not guilty of Ct II: Grand Larceny $5k to $25k.

Tony, a former chef at Gold Strike, was charged along with others of the theft of food related items.

Although he had to wait 3 years for trial, we are glad that Tony stood tall, trusted us as we worked to clear his name by presenting all the facts and arguments to the jury.

🚨Case Dismissed Against CLF Client Sgt. Gregory Capers🚨

In 2023, Sgt Gregory Capers of the Indianola Police Department was involved in an on-duty shooting which resulted in substantial injury to an 11 year old boy.

Sgt Capers was charged criminally. He was then sued in state court. He was then sued in federal court.

As of today, all cases are now officially dismissed.

The litigation in this matter has gone on for more than 3 years. Carr Law Firm, as attorneys for the Police Benevolent Association, working with an outstanding team of lawyers for the City of Indianola represented by Jacks, Griffith, Luciano PA, have been there with him every step of the way.

The federal judge, in his 16 page opinion, wrote the following which sums up the case:

“Murry’s theory of what happened - that Capers knew or should have known it was her unarmed eleven-year-old son running at him - is blatantly contradicted by Capers body-camera video.”

If there were ever a case to show as “Exhibit A” for the need for body cameras - not just for the protection of the public but for the protection of the officers - this is the case.

All officers need cameras. All agencies need to be fully funded by their cities and counties to make sure cameras are on and working at all times.

🚨BOLIVAR COUNTY FIRST DEGREE MURDER CONVICTION REVERSED AND REMANDED - FOR A SECOND TIME!🚨

Yesterday the Mississippi Court of Appeals unanimously reversed a 2024 first degree murder conviction of CLF client Jacqueze Marshall. This is the second time Mr. Marshall’s murder conviction has been reversed by a higher court on appeal.

In a 17 page opinion, all ten justices of the the Court of Appeals unanimously found that Mr. Marshall was denied his right to a fair trial.

Many thanks to long time friend Atty Mollie McMillin of Jackson for successfully briefing the appeal.

We understand that reversals of convictions, particularly in murder cases, present strong feelings on both sides. An individual was killed. A family has lost their loved one. We are not invalidating any of those feelings.

But it’s important for the public to know that the system works, including at the appellate level.

As a defense attorney, the Mississippi rules of professional conduct task us with zealously advocating for our clients.

Carr Law Firm is going to do that every.single.time.

But, sometimes the public (and even our friends and family) equate advocacy with cosigning on a clients alleged actions. That is not what defending means.

Defending means to advocate for the preservation of a person’s constitutional rights, no matter his or her station in life.

YOUR rights.

This is what makes America different from so many other counties in the world.

And as our Senior Circuit Judge tells every jury pool - “A lot of people went to foreign lands to fight for those rights, and many did not come home.” And he’s right.

If a person’s 5th and 6th amendment rights to have a fair trial and confront evidence and witnesses do not matter, then nobody’s constitutional rights matter.

We at Carr Law Firm cannot promise you a result in any given case.

But we can promise you that you are going to give you that fair trial. Because your rights DO matter.

We will make sure the government does not convict you because they “say so”. It has to be fair. And if it’s not, we call it out.

That’s what we did here for Mr. Marshall….again.

A new trial would likely be set later this year or next year.

Last week, our Limited Practice Intern, Maneia Sparks hit the ground running, having argued a successful motion on behalf of a client who purchased a vehicle from a local dealership. The vehicle was financed for $10,245.00, with an interest rate of 28%, despite its actual value being $2,500.00.

Initially, the State assessed restitution in the amount of $8,773.56. As a result of the motion and argument presented, the Court granted the motion and assessed $0.00 in restitution against our client.
