A law still on the books in Mississippi entitles Johnny Valentine to over $750,000 from the man that his ex-wife Sandra ended up marrying, a judgment made final by the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case, previously upheld on the state level.

As we are fond of saying in Arkansas, "Thank God for Mississippi." Y'all make us Arkies look so much better.

I don't mean to be such a wet blanket, but if she cheated with me while still married to him I wouldn't give a plug nickel for her.

Well, from a legal standpoint, the plaintiff had a case. If the law is still on the books, and the alleged crime occurred within the boundaries of said law, then he is in the right. The judges probably felt as though their hands were tied.

But, hey, that's what the court of appeals is for. I'm sure the wife's attorney are already preparing their appeal.
