Statement

The secretary of the Jackson Tennessee DA office, whom I reached at 731-423-5800 laughed & refused to transfer me to a specific prosecutors voicemail regarding a case where a violent offender is facing 50+ years & has been arrested on homicide charges before in another state. The information I attempted to provide is a vital piece of strategy that would result in a win but the secretary suffers from oppositional defiance disorder & wanted to fight with me instead of connecting the call. Furthermore, the secretary indicated the information on the DA website is inaccurate & outdated as the CRIMMINAL investigator I asked for is now deceased. The secretary refused to provide her name & I lectured her on obstruction of justice as the information I have should go directly to the prosecutor. https://www.tndagc.org/district-26/
