It was a good day in snowy Mississippi for Carlos Moore and his client, Michael Archie.  From the Greenwood Commonwealth:

A Leflore County jury decided Tuesday for Michael Archie.

It set the price of his ability to use the lower half of his body at $12 million.

The a-mount is to be paid by the owner and security guard at the Itta Bena club where Archie, an innocent bystander, was shot on Jan. 26, 2003.

The former basketball player at Greenwood High School and Mississippi Valley State University has been a paraplegic since.

Archie’s attorney, Carlos Moore of Grenada, said the family is pleased with the verdict but would give anything to have Archie back up and walking.

“That is simply priceless,” Moore said in a prepared statement released after the jury returned its verdict just before noon Tuesday.
