Plaintiff Brings Closer in from Bullpen in Claiborne County Silica Trial
Reports from Port Gibson are that the plaintiff in the Claiborne County silica trial went to the bullpen yesterday and called in……Dennis Sweet of Jackson.
Yep. The big right-hander entered the ballgame courtroom Wedn
esday afternoon representing the plaintiff. I didn't know that Sweet was coming out of the pen.
My earlier post on the ongoing silica trial is here.
With Dennis Sweet on the plaintiff's side in Port Gibson, it is dang near certain that the defendants will need that appeal. As fellow attorney, Greg Griffin, noted "he is Johnnie Cochran, Jock Smith, Jere Beasley, F.Lee Bailey and Willie Gary all in one man."
Word is that Judge Pickard did not allow the last minute, unannounced call-up from the bullpen. Not verified so you may want to check it out.
