Don't Cry Until Hurt Justice Tells Gentry
Arkansas Supreme Court Associate Justice George Rose Smith refused Attorney General Tom Gentry's request for a writ of prohibition against Circuit Judge C Floyd Huff in Hot Springs gambling case. Gentry sought to remove Huff from the dispute and enable actions against confiscated gambling equipment. The court noted missing service on the restraining order and lack of bond, and questioned whether prosecutors and Huff were failing their duties in handling evidence. Three men charged in gambling raids waived preliminary hearings. 14 others were arrested, with some pleading guilty and fined. The confiscated equipment remains under state police guard, to be preserved for future evidence.
