Well, well, well, it looks like since Stuart Irby doesn't have to worry about testifying in court, he has been a busy little bee. These pictures were taken November 21 at the airport as he flew out of Jackson to Dallas for the weekend. He arrived with his pilot, got his own luggage, took a stroll, then got on the plane and departed. Mr. Irby's rehab tour has taken place at several other sites in Jackson: The shindig at Hal and Mal's on Thanksgiving night where he was seen by more than a few people; the Friday night performance of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at New Stage Theater where his buddy Mac performed; the book signing for Quinten Whitwell's If By Whiskey held at Lee Paris' home. Numerous sources who attended the signing reported to JJ Mr. Irby was among those in attendance at the literary event where the beautiful people of Jackson showed up to tell each other how wonderful they are.
Hmmm....Mr. Irby can't testify in his case, yet he can fly to Dallas to have some fun, go to bars, plays, and book signings yet according to his doctor and Judge Green:
"Stuart Irby's physicians are of the opinion that he lacks the ability to participate or even comprehend and provide reliable and valid answers to questions from the State and Defendant regarding the incident at issue in this case. Moreover these treating physicians advise the Court Mr. Irby's involuntary participation in even a simple interview at this time would likely "worsen" his condition, would setback his brain injury recovery, and "cause harm" to their patient."..."
Obviously these excursions are part of Mr. Irby's rehab and we all hope he is making a speedy recovery from the injuries he suffered in that horrible wreck nearly a year ago. If, however, he is merely avoiding testifying in his wife's case, I will offer some advice: Spend some money and lease a condo in New Orleans for six months. You want to have some fun and not worry about everyone in town seeing it, just hit the road on I-55 South for two and a half hours and get lost in the Crescent City. No one will know who you are down there. However, I think we can all assume these little excursions are approved by his doctors and lawyers as part of his convalescence and that it is obviously working for him.

rapid movement and high altitude actually promote brain repair and recovery. sedentary actions such as testifying have been shown to cause rapid decay of memory cells. i.e. bill clinton.
That depends on what your definition of "is" is.
That is true and thank you for the medical clarification.
Yeah, that gratuitous narcissism sure seems to work for some. For a while.
Just don't have Stu spend the night at your house. Call him a cab.
It is good see the system working so smoothly. What a refreshing change.
So, as Denninger ask the other day (in another context), "What is the breaking point" for people regarding justice?
Ah, let me think, breaking point...contribute enough money to buy justice? I'm not talking about the Sheriff.
This is outrageous. Does Judge Green receive reports like this one? If someone fed it to her, could she reverse her earlier order and force Irby to testify?
So this looks pretty ethical. I am sure the Bar and the Judicial Review Board is aware of this investigation you have done. Perhaps the great state of MS should take a lesson from the recent FL Supreme Court order.
I'm thinking about creating a tour T-shirt, you know, like the ones the rock bands used to have on concert tours with the tour dates on the back. Call it the Rehab Tour or the Can't Remember Tour with a list of dates and sites on the back of the t shirt. T shirt would be black of course.
Then we can all wear them to the courtroom...
I understand that one of the songs on Stu's playlist is 'We Can't Drive 40'.
I think its pretty lowlife to suggest that just because Stuart Irby was seen somewhere that he should therefore give testimony. In any event, your commentaries reflect your opinion of the judge. Why not leave the man some air?
What exactly is my opinion of the judge?
Kingfish, have you actually spoken to Irby? Have you heard him carry on a conversation with anyone?
The man is mentally wrecked.
I don't even know the man personally, but had to discuss some matters of business with two weeks ago. It was our first meeting and itt was sad. Plain sad.
I had heard him speak publicly about 3 months before the wreck. Now to hear him speak and carry on a conversation, it's like you are speaking to a mentally-ill patient who forgot to take his medicine, and I'm not saying that to be humorous. There is no way that guy should be able to testify.
Somebody that screwed up shouldn't be walking around freely and unattended at the airport. Don't you think?
Just because someone has had a brain injury and doesn't seem like the same person does not disqualify him from being questioned about his memory of events.
4:14 you are assuming that Stuart was always rational before the accident and that you couldn't have had a similar encounter pre-accident.
This is my point. all these questions and second guessing whether Stuart should have to testify are really second guessing and questioning the judge , who made the determination that he shouldnt be required to testify.
You( some psoters) are saying that the judge got it wrong.
Just ask Bobby Burt Delaughter about New Orleans. One can live the high life down there on someone else' dime, all the while making plans for the future.
8:33 Yeah, I think the judge got it wrong. I think the doctors got it wrong by attributing pre-existing conditions and behaviors to the accident. Though I do think the physician's language alluded to knowledge of a pre-existing condition.
If you didn't know Stuart well before the accident, you can't tell how or if the accident affected him even if you know about the pre-existing condition. You don't know how that condition manifested. You can't even know if the last medical assessment available was still good and no new symptoms had shown up. It's that simple. ALL they may have had were any treatment medications.
The judge and doctors didn't know him well before and weren't likely to have been given a recent, accurate,detailed pre-accident assessment. It would not have served Stuart's legal interests to provide such information if it existed or be critical to his medical care as the treatment would be the same. And, I think all those looking after Stuart's interest were smart enough to figure that out.
He says off the wall things.
I never heard of any blackouts.
This is a silly forum and newspaper.
Very much so.
