We have lots of relative newbies here on Slabbed and so I’d be remiss if I did not point out Slabbed was the Beef Plant blog back in the day, thus the post title, as economic development boondoggles are nothing new in Mississippi. With the Solar pump in full swing I reckon it is no surprise the MDA flushed … Continue reading “Moooooving along it appears Boss Hogg may have his own “Beef Plant””
After one of our Georgia based readers stopped in and left a comment earlier this week on my last Beef Plant post from December 2008 I openly wondered if my predictions concerning bad times ahead for convicted felon Robert Moultrie’s company, The Facility Group, had come to fruition. In response Nonya provided this answer: They are going broke, … Continue reading “Moooving right along Slabbed Profiles Beef Plant Prosecution Aftermath: Cheryl Moultrie Speaks Out”
This time it is Charles Morehead’s turn to face the camera and answer the age old question, “Where’s the beef?” Based on the fate of the others I’d judge Morehead’s chance of getting just probation somewhere between 0-5%. Lessons learned? Never trust a former ambulance chaser from Batesville. The Sun Herald has the story: A … Continue reading “Another Beef Plant Felon Gets an Appointment Date to the Greybar Hotel”
No not Ronnie Musgrove, just another one of his campaign finance “friends”, like the folks from Georgia our current Democratic Senatorial candidate shook down. If the last two Rasmunsen polls are right we won’t have to worry about this toe sucking, board appointment selling, beef plant profiting miscreant sullying the halls of the US Senate … Continue reading “Another Beef Plant Crook Gets His Sentence”
James Draper was such a minor player in the beef plant case that I doubt few even know his name; yet, of all the folks involved, Draper is the one facing the longest sentence – and, if the government gets what it wants, his sentence will be even longer after the Halloween Day hearing. The … Continue reading “A “fall” festival? Draper sentencing set in beef plant fiasco set for Halloween”

Moo-v-ing straight into the update with a summary of post-plea moos and news and udder-ly ridiculous spin from cyberspace about the beef plant case – starting with what the Clarion Ledger has online.

We should have some happy Georgia readers today – all those who have been complaining about the lack of Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s little mention of USA v Moultrie. h/t Y’all for the link to First, pre-heat oven to 425 degrees: A recipe for ‘cooking the books’ That federal trial of a politically connected Smyrna company and … Continue reading “Pot boiling over in beef plant case, AJC finally finds the "recipe"”
In my short time reading legal filings, especially in criminal cases I’ve found a few whacky things but nothing quite like the latest legal filing from Team Moultrie and Greenlee’s answer. In essence team Moultrie claimed the proscecutors gave way too much information in the indictment and the “surplus” words simply must go. In another beefy … Continue reading “Superseding Beef Plant Indictment: Too Many Words for Grazing?”
Nowdy tells me there are several housekeeping type items that were filed on PACER we won’t bother with as they appeared unremarkable to her. However the prosecution today filed motions in opposition to defense motions to sever and exclude evidence from other contracts from trial.
