Cancer Dr. in Greenwood arrested Conspiracy to Commit murder

Just heard the NAACP are suppose to be coming to because they think the boys were set up

Of course, this is all a huge plot to bring two thugs down! Anyone can see the blatant racism at play here!

I put Lacy in prison for burglary back in 05. His mother never believed he was guilty after he gave a full statement.

They never do. I worked in a youth court one summer and they were all innocent. They were all just "good church going Christian" boys according to their moms. Had a mom in shirt that read, " I screwed your boyfriend last night," claiming her son was forced to plead guilty by the "racist" cops that brought him in to court. The look on the judge's face was priceless

As a matter of course, it is odd that the AGs office essentially set up an ambush when they supposedly had knowledge this was going to take place and the actors that would be involved for over a month. Normally, you find out about murder for hire and then arrest those thought to be involved, interrogate...they rat on each other and you indict.

This is more like a scene from Justified wherein an ambush is set up to kill someone.

Granted, I don't know any more facts than the next guy about this...just seems really odd to me relative to generally accepted protocol.

The called Lee Abraham supposedly to sell him a gun...not to give him a heads up they are coming to kill him.

When you set up a drug sting and someone starts shooting at the officers or even points their gun at officers, is it an ambush or officers defending themselves?

I agree it does look kind of hinky but I don't think the targets of this whole deal were two run of the mill thugs in an elaborate set up by police or the parties involved. I think they saw dollar signs and one got killed for it and the other got popped as well.

In any good conspiracy though, people that can talk usually die. Could one of gotten a non-fatal wound to "rat on" someone else as a witness and get paid off in the long run? Sure it could have! Only time will tell!

It is certainly interesting, Chevy. Let me provide background to my previous statements. Word I have heard is that the AGs Office and Lee Abraham knew of the murder for hire, knew who was supposedly going to kill him a couple of weeks before the event and were in place to take these two down when they showed up at Abraham's office.

IF THAT IS THE CASE....Big IF....then someone at the AGs office is going to have some explaining to do if pressed on the issue.

Not saying the would be assassins didn't have what was coming to them, just saying that if the LEOs knew their identity, it would have been more practical to have a warrant issued and make an arrest before all of this nonsense went down.

I've known a few AG officers/investigators over the years. The ones I knew........weren't always the ones with an elevator that goes to the top. You can't ever try to figure out what they were thinking or trying to do.

What is your law enforcement background?

It would have been more practical to shoot the one that survived again. Warrant issuing would have led to everybody's word against everybody elses' word unless there was some real hard evidence....not issuing them removed one from having a side to tell and left another that can't deny much after being in the gun fight.

If what we are reading in the papers is the truth, the agents were probably there to arrest them for the sale of an illegal firearm promised to Lee Abraham by the shooter supposedly furnished by Dr. Smith in the murder for hire investigation. That could have been a damning and vital piece of the case against Smith from an investigative standpoint. I think the big problem is the fact that so many people are saying so much stuff it's easy to not get the 100% truth and jump to conclusions. It does look kind of funny that the agents happened to be there at the perfect time to keep someone from being killed in a glorious hail of gunfire. It seems to me though it is just as plausible that they were there to intercept the guys supposedly hired to kill him that looked to be "flipping" on Dr. Smith as they could have been lured in to be killed and set up.

Not that I know that is what happened but it is plausible just like other guesses as to what happened. I think the only limiting factor on what could have gone on in this case is one's imagination! There are so many unanswered questions, it's crazy!

They also arrested a fourth man today supposedly involved in ANOTHER murder for hire plot by Dr. Smith...this is getting more and more interesting!

Greenwood police arrested a fourth man Wednesday in an alleged murder-for-hire scheme involving Dr. Arnold Smith.

Cordarious Robinson, 22, 505 Kinney St., was arrested Wednesday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Bond for Robinson was set Wednesday at $100,000 for the conspiracy charge and at $20,000 for the weapons charge. He remained in the Leflore County Jail this afternoon.

Greenwood Police Chief Henry Purnell said today Robinson is not linked to the shootout Saturday night at the downtown Greenwood law office of Lee Abraham.

“These are unrelated charges that we have charged him with. ... He had nothing to do with the Saturday night shooting,” the police chief said.

Purnell said Robinson was linked in a separate murder conspiracy case regarding “other arrangements” that Robinson made with Smith, a Greenwood oncologist.

Boys, the investigators are peeling the onion...there will be plenty to talk about before this is over, but all interested ought to watch this for perspective...

I watched the beginning and expected little green men to pop out of the ceiling at any moment..........
What is the reference to Goldkist? What is he talking about?

A failed industrial prospect a while back. I remember a lot of controversy but not the details.


And Rex is the real deal. I suspect he didn't tolerate Smith long.

was it supposed to be where the goldkist farm place was outside of town (across from yazoo river bridge on the way to sidon)?
