A federal jury in Jackson took two hours Friday to convict former interim Hinds County sheriff Marshand Cris;er of bribery.
Former interim Hinds County sheriff guilty in fedral bribery case by Mina Corpuz, Mississippi Today November 8, 2024 Marshand Crisler, the former Hinds County interim sheriff and candidate, faces up to 10 years in prison after a federal jury in Jackson found him guilty Friday of soliciting and accepting bribes from a man with previous felony convictions and a pending violent charge.
Crisler didn’t report any money as a campaign contribution, the government argued, because Crisler didn’t want it to become public that he was taking bribes from a felon. “How he did it shows why he did it,” said Charles Kirkham of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Defense attorney Colette told the jury that the evidence doesn’t prove bribery. Crisler was trying to secure campaign funds from Moore, which is not illegal.
