Insurer wants Diaz off lawsuit
JACKSON — An insurance company wants former Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz kicked off a lawsuit involving imprisoned former attorney Paul Minor.
Minor, meanwhile, thinks the federal judge in the case should step down because he’s the same judge who presided over the criminal case that sent Minor and two former judges to prison.
Minor, Diaz, and former Harrison County judges Wes Teel and John Whitfield were indicted on federal corruption charges in 2003. Diaz was acquitted of all charges. The others eventually were convicted on various counts in a retrial.
