Karen Irby indicted

Karen Irby has been indicted on two counts of depraved heart murder and one count of aggravated assault (for Stuart M. Irby's injuries) for the wreck that killed two doctors on February 11. Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green will hear the case.

JJ has also learned Ms. Irby's attorney is trying to negotiate a deal with authorities whereby Ms. Irby can turn herself in at the courthouse.

The CL reported just now she was indicted for vehicular homicide (two counts). However, JJ stands by the two counts of depraved heart murder reported above. The CL is wrong in its report.

The news media has been aware for several days Ms. Irby was indicted. However, the process of becoming public knowledge takes some time, as it has to be processed at the District Attorney's office and then delivered to law enforcement where it is then served on the defendant. The CL jumped the gun and announced the indictment based on sources it had. No media outlets have a copy of the indictment and they all were waiting until they had a public record or copy of the indictment to use before they reported the story.

Last week's post, includes discussion of possible charges.

Note:
"SEC. 97-3-19. Homicide; murder defined; capital murder; lesser-included offenses.
(1) The killing of a human being without the authority of law by any means or in any manner shall be murder in the following cases:
(b) When done in the commission of an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual;
(3) An indictment for murder or capital murder shall serve as notice to the defendant that the indictment may include any and all lesser included offenses thereof, including, but not limited to, manslaughter.

Great reporting Kingfish! I am inclined to believe you over the CL anytime. Keep up the great work.

WAPT is reporting it as depraved heart murder: http://www.wapt.com/news/19395924/detail.html

what about the dui charge? where is that?

PCM said...

My understanding is the Depraved Heart Murder does not require DUI and will take the whole DUI issue off the table...Not necessary....DUI always muddies the water with all the defense loop holes at trial time.

GO LOOK QUICK! Before the CL takes it off of the comments. A priceless photoshopped mugshot of Karen Irby with Gold Shovels for earrings (She is a Golddigger! LOL!)

Any idea on when the other shoe is going to drop on McMillin?

Do you think Karen is wearing her JFP thong?

Anonymous said...

Tom Head wears one.

Have you gone to "Most Popular" in the CL? It is down. they also have no comment link in the story. The cover up continues

Irby money is influential. You build up all these good deed markers then when you need to call one in it will be there. They had McMillin on a string.

Thank-God justice is finally creeping into the picture. Karen Irby should be in jail and Stuart should think for a long time before paying bail money. Karen's license and passport should be taken from her. The Pogues deserve justice.

I for one believe there is more to this story than meets the eye!

@ 8:24, what would that be?

Mac won't be getting my vote ever again. Like politicians before him, he seems to have forgotten that it's the power of his office and his chance of holding of tha office that gets the support and not him personally.
If what I'm hearing in social circles from his long time rank and file supporters is still there come election time ( it will be for me), he's out of a job.
Rank and file don't like a politician forgetting that it took more than powerful pockets to get him elected...he works for US!

More to the story - like Stuart driving when they left the country club, being pulled over by JPD and then having JPD instruct Karen to drive instead of Stuart as he appeared intoxicated, then Karen and Stuart fighting while she was driving.

How about Stuart throwing Karen in the pool last summer after one of her fits after a huge spending spree, leading to the divorce papers being filed, about Karen being bipolar. Much more to the story.

Anonymous said...

@ 9:38, I am out of the know about all of that, but has the JPD incident you cite been substantiated anywhere? NOT trolling, just curious.

Anonymous said...

I have heard from some pretty reliable sources the national media has taken a huge interest in this story.

Will Mac look directly into their cameras and lie to them? He sure does not like talking about this case, why?

He was also quoted as saying Karen was NOT a flight risk. I guess he's never been up in one of the Irby's planes...

That Brady Bunch picture in the CL is a disgrace. What a vile attempt to influence a jury. A child of three still with a binky will have severe mental problems in later life. I hope she has a great Mother's Day.

Jane said...

Mac's endorsement means I won't be voting for Crisler.

Kingfish said...

the pool story I know about and yeah, its true. Its what led to his arrest for domestic violence. It's actually a pretty funny story and the arrest was just her taking advantage of how easy it is to file charges against someone in Mississippi.

The key will be for the media to ask the right questions. McMillin is very good at giving correct answers to the wrong questions.

Kingfish said...

Very good my young apprentice.

I wonder if mental illness (bipolar disorder, as mentioned by @9:38) will be part of her defense strategy.

Please tell me that Stuart isn't still living with Karen! Hopefully he has bettersense at this point.

Is Karen wife number 2, 3, ??? Wasn't his frst wife Melissa Mann?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
