Trial Court:	Date of Trial Judgment: 09-16-1998 Appealed from: Hinds County Circuit Court Judge: James E. Graves, Jr. Disposition: The Hinds County Circuit Court refused to enforce the signed documents against Terry, Henderson, and Evans, finding that they were unaware that they were signing promissory notes. The trial court enforced the pledge and security agreements, along with the stock assignments, and ordered Terry, Henderson, and Evans to transfer their shares of First Commerce Bancorporation to Turner. However, the circuit court found the promissory note executed by Williams to be enforceable and entered a judgment against him for $66,666.68, plus interest.
