AG Fitch Statement on Anthony Fox Acquittal
Today, the Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed and rendered a judgment of acquittal in the case of Anthony Gerald Fox v. State of Mississippi. Attorney General Fitch issued this statement:
We are grateful that Officer Anthony Fox has finally received the acquittal he deserves. This office will not shy away from the tough calls to do what is right and just. And here, the evidence led us to one conclusion: Officer Fox should be acquitted. We appreciate the Court of Appeals’ thorough review of the facts and law that led to the same determination.
Today, a wrong has been righted, and justice has been done. The good men and women who wear the uniform to keep us safe and maintain law and order in our communities need to know that their Attorney General will always have their back. We are their partners and whether we call it Back the Blue or Back the Badge or Blue Lives Matter, it all comes down to this: Supporting law enforcement is the right thing to do.
