ANOTHER SALVO HAS been fired in the battle to determine who will preside over criminal cases in Hinds County.
Last week, Senior Circuit Judge Tomie Green said in a brief that her decision to reorganize the court was well researched and will make the system “more effective and efficient ... for the citizens of Hinds County.”
The brief was filed with the Supreme Court on May 10, in response to an emergency petition from Circuit Judge Jeff Weill asking the justices to prevent Green from dividing the circuit into criminal and civil divisions.
