A.G. Agents Foil Hit on Greenwood Attorney Lee Abraham

By Philip Thomas on April 30, 2012

NMC has the details on the bizarre attempt to murder Greenwood attorney Lee Abraham Saturday night at his office.

Abraham got wind of the planned hit and was waiting for the bad guys in his office with armed agents from the Mississippi Attorney General’s office. A shoot-out ensued. The agents killed one bad guy and wounded the other. One agent was also wounded.

The person who ordered the hit is—allegedly—Greenwood oncologist Dr. Arnold Smith, age 70. Abraham apparently represented Smith’s ex-wife in their divorce case years ago.

It sounds like Smith has gone severely cuckoo. he claims to have been stabbed Thursday by someone claiming to have compromising photos of Abraham.

Looks like I need to pay more attention when someone calls my office and says they think their doctor is trying to kill them. I thought stuff like that only happened in Greg Iles novels.
