Washington Case: Special Prosecutors Appointed

From folo:

I hope to have copies of these orders for show-and-tell soon, but I’ve just learned that on April 10, Hinds County Chief Circuit Judge Swan Yerger appointed Butler, Snow-ites James P. Tucker and Amanda Barbour special prosecutors in the Ofc. Robert Washington murder case against Sherrod Moore. Tucker is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney (and criminal-division chief), while Barbour was an assistant district attorney in Houston and deputy DA in Birmingham.

As yet, they’ve apparently not become publicly active in the case, and neither was present for the hearing on Sherrod Moore’s motion to compel earlier this month. Judge Yerger seems to have brought them in to be prepared in case Hinds County DA Robert Shuler Smith gets disqualified. (The most likely way that could happen: his becoming a witness — which his dealings with Stephan Hickman may make probable.)
