Malcolm Harrison: future Hinds County Circuit Court Judge?

Posted on March 7, 2009 by Philip Thomas

A reader of this blog emailed me and suggested that Malcolm Harrison would be a strong candidate in a special election to fill Judge DeLaughter's seat should the position become open. Harrison is the current county prosecutor, has a solid reputation, lives in the Raymond area (seat of the 2nd judicial district), is African-American and has previously won two county-wide elections. These are strong credentials for the position.

Another suggested possibility to fill the seat was Jackson attorney Melvin Priester. It has been a number of years since any of the Hinds County Circuit Court Judge positions were vacant. A vacancy would no doubt cause a huge amount of political intrigue and jockeying.

I believe Malcolm would be a perfect candidate. He comes from a family of Doctors, Educators and Professional people.
