Court declines to hear ex-casino cashier’s appeal

Friday, Feb. 25, 2005 | 9:19 a.m.

JACKSON, Miss. -- The Mississippi Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal from a former cashier at the Grand Casino Tunica who was convicted of embezzling $80,000.

The state Court of Appeals last August had upheld the conviction and 10-year sentence, with three years suspended, given Simmie Bright Jr. in 2002. The Supreme Court on Thursday declined Bright's motion to look at his case.
