Possible copyright vio[edit]

This article is marred by being lifted nearly verbatim from a biography prepared by erin D'Abramo as part of the Mississippi Writers and Musicians Project, by Starksvile High School, which I did not discover until checking its references.^[1] It would be useful if other editors would use more of D'Abramo's sources to add cites to this article, or it can be deleted for copyright violations.Parkwells (talk) 17:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Career[edit]

The reference citation for the last sentence of the career section should be changed. As it is, there is no mention of the author's assertion in the work cited. The newspaper article should be a separate reference. Thanks75.68.192.62 (talk) 11:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Delaughter out of jail and now in home confinement[edit]

Just want to give you guys a heads up, he's out of jail. http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/default/article/Ex-judge-accused-in-bribery-case-out-of-jail-1335927.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skootaloo (talk • contribs) 02:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Citation Needed" Removed[edit]

I removed the label asking for a citation to provide evidence that Alec Baldwin played DeLaughter in the film Ghosts of Mississippi because that information is readily available in the article for the film that is mentioned in the sentence immediately preceding the one in question. I'm not sure why the label was added to begin with, but I'm leaving this note in case someone wants to add it again. Sometimes the end is only the beginning...
