Robert Lenoir v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Lenoir's motion to disqualify the circuit judge and quash the indictment, holding that the special judge's appointment was valid and that any procedural defects did not invalidate the judge's acts. It also held that the special prosecutor's presentation of the case to the grand jury before formal appointment did not require dismissal absent evidence of improper influence or prejudice, and that several additional arguments were waived or premature. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
