Hinds County DA and challenger disagree on backlog
Hinds County’s district attorney’s race has become a battle over backlog with incumbent Robert Shuler Smith saying there isn’t one and challenger Stanley Alexander citing 2,100 cases awaiting trial to say there is.

He faces a determined challenger in Alexander, an assistant attorney general and a former Hinds County assistant district attorney.
