Chancery Judge Charlie Smith was shot Monday morning in the parking lot outside the Lauderdale County Courthouse in downtown Meridian, WTOK-TV reported.

Smith's district includes Lauderdale and Clarke counties. Among subjects that chancery judges in Mississippi handle are divorces, child custody cases, adoptions and guardianships.

As I write this, nobody is in custody and there are no suspects.
Who knows why this happened.
But, if it was related to divorce, custody and alimony - is it worth risking the electric chair because a gynocentric Judge ruled against you?

Much better, and much less violent, to just go your own way!
