Keith Shelton Reinstated To Mississippi Bar

Last month we posted here concerning a 5-part series at folo about Keith Shelton, an attorney in Mississippi who was framed and disbarred in what can best be characterized as an outrageous miscarriage of justice by a former district attorney and a corrupt judge. We are pleased to note that the Mississippi Supreme Court on Friday reinstated Keith Shelton (.pdf) to the Mississippi Bar. The decision is well worth reading as an official confirmation of the underlying facts; note especially the concurring opinion of Justice Dickerson. The Clarion-Ledger story here fails to accurately report the background of the case. Congratulations to Mr. Shelton, and a hat tip to folo.
