Received this email Tuesday concerning my post about Sims Garrett and Corey McDonald:
"To whom it may concern:
I have spoken with Mr. McDonald concerning you recent blog posts concerning his relationship with Mr. Simms Garrett. I have known Mr. McDonald for over three (3) years and have found him to be an honest man who operates his business with the utmost integrity. Mr. McDonald is a former marine who has never been convicted of any crimes whatsoever. Mr. Garrett on the other hand has obviously had his fair share of run ins with the law. I understand that you are entitled to free speech and you are just conveying 3rd party information to your audience, however, Mr. McDonald emphatically disagrees with the truth and veracity of your article/blog and finds same to be libel/slander. Portraying Mr. McDonald in such a false light could have a devastating financial impact on his business.
I appreciate you candor at the end of your article displaying that this is only Mr. Garrett's side of the story, but that statement comes only after having referred to Mr. McDonald as a wannabe Dog the Bounty Hunter etc., etc.,. Unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can rely upon Mr. Garrett's information, I kindly request that you remove his name from your blog and/or any future articles you choose to publish.
Best regards,
Gary Lee Williams
Associate Attorney (Licensed in AL & MS)
Rainer Law Firm, PLLC"
I replied:
"I aslo know how to use discovery as well."
To which he replied:
"Sounds like you want to be a lawyer. Are you?"
My reply is made in this post:
Mr. Williams, you are more than welcome to file suit and find out if I know how to use discovery. Also be aware that I will use all legal tools at my disposal, including the application for Rule 11 Sanctions and filing of bar complaints since no slander or defamation was made. Mr. McDonald is more than welcome to submit his side of the story for publication. Keep in mind that if you are to sue me for said post, part of the subject matter involves the Ridgeland Police Department. Since truth is an absolute defense to charges of slander and defamation, it is conceivable I would be forced to file discovery motions requesting records and testimony from the Ridgeland PD as well as your clients business practices and client lists.

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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

He must've gone to night school if he doesn't know if libel or slander pertains to the written word. And that part about not ever mentioning his client's name again on your site is real cute. You should post his name every day just to prove you can. And then maybe have a special section on the side like you do with Karen and Heather. Call it "RPD Corruption and Corey McDonald".
Gary Lee Williams PWNED
Nice. Very nice.
Maybe he doesn't realize you have a JD degree, 'Fish.
Mr. Williams,
"it's always wise to know the dog you're about to bark at"
typical ed rainer product.
KF, you can't just publish a quote. publishing either a slandererous utterance or a libelous statement CAN BE, is not automatically, actionable.
btw, publishing your private pissing matches isn't very amusing to some, but heck, if it sells this blog, and it IS your blog, piss at it.
KF, if you receive a summons and complaint, you know who to call . . .
Dude you got balls the size of grapefruits.
doesn't take much to impress some people.
I think Mr. McDonald's interests would be better served if next time would hire an attorney who could write a coherent letter without grammar errors. He might also be better served if said lawyer had at least a cursory grasp of libel laws.
If that is the original e-mail, somebody needs to proofread before they try to strike a blow. Typos or spelling errors, somebody is sloppy.
Kingfish, I hate to say it, but the lawyer is right. Exposing bogus police arrests can lead to loss in the bondsman's revenue. He may have a point! LOL!
Rule 11, is not it great! Discovery...Ridgeland PD, now that would be very interesting. Wow, what would be found if this went forward, not to mention the 1st Amendment prevailing!
I don't know Mr. Williams, but his statement "Sounds like you want to be a lawyer. Are you?," is the same type of arrogant, chronic assholic attitude that makes me want to beat the s--t out of most lawyers I have to deal with.
Btw, I've litigated against his boss, Ed Rainer, and respect him as an advocate. This type of garbage is beneath what I would expect from the Rainer firm.
My favorite line (and I'm sure I'm taking this out of context) was "Mr. McDonald emphatically disagrees with the truth". I would have expected much more from Rainer's firm as well. I've heard Rainer is quite the bulldog divorce attorney (unless I'm thinking of someone else-it is late). He didn't even spell Sims correctly.
Bravo KF ... Bravo.
KF, could you link to your post about McDonald/Sims? I'd like to read it but am having trouble finding it...
Anon: 8:51, just scroll down. "Another Soto victim comes forward".
I'm pretty sure you have this all under control KF. Bravo!!!
Sims, is pleased! Way to put the early mud slinging to a rest. I just hope everyone keeps this thing "cival".......so to speak. ;-)
Mr. Garrett's playing his "full house" hand very near to his chest. I truly think he's just flashed a slight peak of only one of his cards. Let's just hope he slams the entire hand down on the table here really soon
Rainer Law Firm turned out NUMEROUS documents to my attorney with all type of errors. I don't take anything that firm turns out seriously. Like earlier post said, "typical" of Rainer Law.
After that 'strongly worded letter' from the Raineer law Firm PLLC I stopped back to see that this post was still up.
I am glad that I was not charged for those communications. I would have asked 'why are you asking the question if you don't know the answer?'
Funny, but a lawyer in Brookhaven decided to send my Mom a letter demanding payment for a bill due to an LLC she owned. Only problem is, the letter was addressed personally to her AND there was no contract compelling her or the LLC for the alleged debt. I went to a legal forms site, found the forms I needed to send back, researched the law, composed a direct letter alleging harassment and quoted FDCA statutes and guess what? No response. Shut them down. The "threat" that was made upon my Mom was returned with FACTS and upon realization that my Mom was not going to take it, a simple letter told an attorney that was willing to "threaten" her with civil proceedings quickly realized that the law is on the side of those who do right, not on the side of those who seek to take advantage.
The legal profession in MS is on notice. Not by me, but by all who have fallen prey to the "old standards."
Funny,
"Mr. McDonald is a former marine who has never been convicted of any crimes whatsoever."
his attorney might want to look a little deeper into the actual facts of that statement......
Of course he's never been charged with anything. He lives in Madison County where his family's in law enforcement. Good Ole Boy immunity I guess.?
I imagine Mr. Garrett is ready to welcome all challengers
Is it true Sims Garrett is working with the federal government on this case? This could get very interesting.
I heard Sims was working with the Mossad.
I'd be curious to compare Sims Garrett's military service record to Mr. McDonalds. Mr. Garrett was in the U.S. Navy and worked with E.O.D. Mobile Unit-17. I'm not exactly sure what Mr. McDonald did in the Marine Corp but I do know he didn't leave on the best of terms. I'm real curious to know exactly what Mr. Garrett did in the service. Explosive Ordinance Disposal personel in the Navy are all Seals. I know Mr. Garrett wasn't a Navy Seal but I am curious to know what his "job decription" was.............
I'M LOVINNNNNNN ALL OF THIS!!!
Has anyone seen Mr. McDonald or Mr. Garrett out anywhere???? I'm wondering what they're both up too. I heard Sims went to Virginia.? anyone know?
BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sims moved to Jackson!!! Can you blame him?
Sims has got some swing in the world evidentally. It looks like powerful people all over the country are watching this whole situation. Reporters have contacted Mr. Garrett but he's waiting a few extra weeks before his first interview. His family and close personal friends have hired a media consultant. This whole thing looks like it's been in the works for a while.
corey mcdonalds criminal conviction can be found on the docket of rankin county court. he was convicted in april 2007. he then lied, under oath, about having the conviction in his application to renew his bail bond license. as a result the dept of insurance fined him and permanently revoked his license.
