  1. How do we know that Judge Hudson always knew that he was a participant in interstate kidnapping, that it was never legal for him to order interstate transportation of a New York minor child then illegally in Louisiana, under color of law, to Wilton Hoggatt, who was then harboring sex offender Andrew Allbritton, prior to any hearing in his court? Because the attorney general told him so. Would you have gotten that feeling from this Mississippi Attorney General's opinion? No Mississippi case was ever filed, that's why Adams County Circuit Clerk Vines, and Judge Hudson, and the Mississippi Attorney General concealed court documents, which is a federal SOX violation.

Dear Judge Hudson:
Attorney General Moore has received your request for an opinion and has assigned it to me for research and reply. You ask several questions involving the responsibility of a county sheriff to transport children who have been ordered by the youth court to
receive assessment/treatment at a private or public facility. (Letter attached). Your specific questions were:
1. Is the sheriff obligated to transport the child in accordance with that order
2. Does the fact that the court orders the assessment/treatment at a private facility have any impact on the responsibility of the sheriff to transport?
3. If the case was an abuse/neglect adjudication, and the child is ordered to an assessment/treatment at such facility, and the court determines that safety issues require law enforcement transporting, and the court orders the said transportation by the
sheriff's office, is the sheriff obligated to transport in accordance with that order?
4. If not, what options are available to assure the safety of Human Services personnel or other custodial personnel when there has been determined that a safety hazard exists?
In answer to your first three questions, please see the attached opinion to Hon. William S. Agin dated March 2, 1994. In this opinion, while it is stated that there is no authority for sheriffs to transport children to out-of-state facilities, it is also
noted that the sheriff's duty to "execute all orders and decrees of said courts directed to him to be executed," pursuant to Sections 19-25-79 also applies to the county court. See M.C.A. Section 19-25-35. It is our opinion that the sheriff must execute
the lawful orders of the youth court judge.
The youth court judge has the authority under the Youth Court Act, specifically Section 43-21-605 to place a delinquent child and under Section 43-21-607 to place an abused or neglected child, in "any public or private organization, preferably
community-based, able to assume the education, care and maintenance of the child..." An order for the transportation of the child who has been adjudicated delinquent or abused/neglected into any public or private facility would fall within the meaning
"lawful orders of the youth court judge."
Applying the prior opinion to Judge Agin and the authority given by the Youth Court Act to your questions, it is our opinion that the sheriff is obligated to transport delinquent or abused/neglected children to public or private facilities within this
state in accordance with youth court orders. This answer to questions 1-3 makes an answer to your question number 4 unnecessary.
If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know.

  1. How about his finding on the record that he could order or legitimate a prior interstate transportation of a minor without following the  Compact for the Interstate Placement of Children? The Mississippi Attorney General's Office cited the opinion below in its Opinion to Judge Hudson above.

Re: Youth Court and the Sheriff
Dear Judge Agin:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your request for an o- pinion and has assigned it to me for research and reply. Your letter asks several questions regarding the duty of the sheriff to execute orders of the youth court including the following:
1. Whether it is the duty of the sheriff in the county of the youth court when ordered to do so to transport a juvenile to or from a treatment or residential facility located in another state;
2. Whether the failure or refusal of a sheriff to trans- port juveniles to out-of-state treatment facilities if ordered by the youth court constitutes an omission action- able under M.C.A. 19-25-9 or any other statutory sanction;
3. Whether a sheriff in the county of the youth court has any discretion in carrying out a youth court order directing the sheriff to transport juveniles to a loca- tion in another state;
4. Whether any statutes bar a sheriff from transporting juveniles to facilities located either in or out of the state when the youth court has so ordered.
In response, subsection (2) of Section 43-21-107 of the Mississippi Code establishes a youth court division "as a division of the coun- ty court of each county now or hereafter having a county court and which does not have a family court, and the county
judge shall be a judge of the youth court . . . ."
This appears to apply to Madison County and your situation. Sec- tion 9-9-29 of the Mississippi Code provides that "The sheriff shall be the executive officer of the county court; he shall by himself, or deputy, attend all of its sessions, and he shall
serve all process and execute all writs issued therefrom in the manner as such process and writs would be served and executed when issued by the justice courts, or by the circuit or chance- ry courts according as appertains to the value of the cause or
matter in hand."
Therefore, the requirement in Section 19-25-79 of the Code that the sheriff "shall receive and keep any prisoner committed by the justice of the peace according to the order of commitment" would also apply to any prisoner committed by the county court
judge. Likewise, the sheriff's duty to serve as the "executive officer of the circuit and chancery court of his county" and to "execute all orders and decrees of said courts directed to him to be executed" also applies to the county court. See M.C.A.
section 19-25-35.
In sum, it is our opinion that the sheriff must execute the lawful orders of the youth court judge. However, we can find no authority for a sheriff to hold a person in custody outside the State of Mis- sissippi, except in cases of fugitives
(extraditions).
There is authority for a youth court judge to place a delinquent child in an out of state institution pursuant to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, Section 43-18-1 et seq. of the Code; but nothing in the Compact specifically authorizes
law enforcement officers to maintain custody of persons outside the state.
You may wish to consult the office of the governor who, pursuant to Article VII of the Compact, shall designate an officer with "power to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out more effectively the terms and provisions of this compact."
Very truly yours,
MIKE MOORE, ATTORNEY GENERAL

  1. How do we know that Judge John Hudson knew that there was no charge for youth court subpoenas? 
Mississippi Code : TITLE 43 PUBLIC WELFARE : CHAPTER 21 YOUTH COURT : PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROCEEDINGS : § 43-21-205. Court costs and fees.

§ 43-21-205. Court costs and fees.

 

In proceedings under this chapter, no court costs shall be charged against any party to a petition, and no salaried officer of the state, county or any municipality, nor any youth court counselor, nor any witness other than an expert witness shall be entitled to receive any fee for any service rendered to the youth court or for attendance in the youth court in any proceedings under this chapter; but the fees of the circuit and chancery clerks in youth court cases originating by petition shall be paid as is provided by law for like services in other cases and shall be paid by the county on allowance of the board of supervisors on an itemized cost bill approved by the judge. These costs shall be paid out of the general fund. No clerk shall be allowed compensation for attendance in youth court.

Re: Youth Court Process
Dear Judge Hudson:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your letter and has assigned it to me for reply. In your letter you state:
In Adams County the issue has arisen as to whose responsibility it is to serve Youth Court process. A backlog of process is being created due to a dis- agreement on this issue. Therefore, your immediate attention to this matter is sincerely appreciated.
The youth court has several types of process. The custody order of the court pursuant to section 43- 21-301 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 may be di- rected to any law enforcement officer, the Depart- ment of Human Services, or any suitable person.
Sum- mons may be issued pursuant to section 43-21-501, et seq. of the Mississippi Code of 1972. Section 43-21- 505(4) states:
The service of summons as required by this chapter shall be made by any person appointed by the youth court judge. Such person, for this purpose, shall be an officer of the youth court.
Bench warrants for adults may be directed to any law enforcement officer. Since youth court, whether a part of chancery court or county court, is part of the state court system, see In The In- terest of R.G.: Defending the Constitutionality of the
Mississip- pi Statute, 92-CA-1295, Mississippi Supreme Court, decided 2-17- 94, the sheriff of the county has the duty, within his jurisdic- tion, to serve any process, notice, summons, or warrants deliver- ed to him, in the same manner as such process,
etc. from circuit or chancery court. This duty of the sheriff in no way limits the power of the youth court to deliver the summons, warrant, etc. to the municipal police, if they are appointed by the Court, for ser- vice within the municipality under the
authority of the above ci- ted statutes.
Very Truly Yours,
MIKE MOORE, ATTORNEY GENERAL

  1. How do we know that Mississippi Judge John Hudson always knew that he had no jurisdiction to alter custody of a New York non-resident child then in Louisiana, in the first place?

Because he was fully familiar with the UNIFORM CHILD CUSTODY JURISDICTION ACT and its replacement, the UNIFORM CHILD CUSTODY JURISDICTION AND ENFORCEMENT ACT.

 

 

And because Adams County Circuit Clerk Vines, Jim Hood, the Mississippi Attorney General, andJudge John Hudson knew that no court case was ever filed in the State of Mississippi. Ever.

That necessitated a six year charade to cover Adams County Circuit Clerk Vines, and Judge Hudson, and the Mississippi Attorney General's intentional participation in a ten year criminal conspiracy against rights, not only with interference with service of process, but documented alteration of the docket, concealment of records, witness intimidation, obstruction of justice, interference with service of process, wire and mail fraud and extortion under color of official right by Adams County Circuit Clerk Vines, and Judge Hudson, and the Mississippi Attorney General.

 

That's why Vines isn't in jail even though indicted on 13 felony counts of embezzlement.
